First BUG (directory not cleared recursively): The problem here is that gvfs-rm is NOT working recursively.. rm-fr does work recursively! Therefore on a mounted gvfs smb share, a non-empty directories can be deleted with rm -fr, while gvfs-rm can't successfully remove a non-emtpy directory.
Nautilus probably uses gvfs-rm for deletion, and does not recursively remove directories. Probably gvfs-rm just calls the rmdir on the smbclient, while the rmdir command is NOT recursively. Second BUG (message error wrong): On being unable to remove a directory because recursion isn't initiated, a bogus error message is returned: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND . That's the reason we get that awsome nonsense error message in nautilus. -- can't delete files on nas over samba with nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
