To workaround the issue I changed the bind mounted /home to a symbolic link.

I partitioned my disk into / (20GB) and /data (230GB) partitions. I then created /data/home/ubuntu, moved my /home there, and bind mounted /home to /data/home/ubuntu. I then created symlinks for ~/Downloads, ~/Music, etc... to /data/Downloads, /data/Music, etc... Whenever I delete files directly inside ~/ they seem to go to the Trash (in ~/.local/share/Trash), but when I try to delete files in other folders that are linked to /data (for example ~/Downloads, or /data/Downloads) Nautilus says: "File can't be put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?". To fix it, I attempted to create trash folders with permissions 1700 and chowned to my user in the following places (to no avail!): * /data/.Trash-$(id -u) * /data/.Trash * /.Trash-$(id -u) * /.Trash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1406376/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
