Indeed this also affects me. i mount a directory on the server on my client with sshfs.
sshfs u...@server.com:/home/user /mnt -o reconnect -o big_writes -o compression=yes In the directory /home/user on the server I can delete non-empty directories in Nautilus EXCEPT when they are on a seperate (usb)disk (/dev/sdb1) that is mounted on /home/user/external_disk "rm -r /mnt/external_disk/non_empty_directory" works fine. In nautilus i first get "Cannot move to trash", "Operation not permitted" when i choose "Delete immidiately" i get an "Error while deleting", "Operation not permitted" The problem boils down to this: Removing non-empty dirs in Nautilus works fine through sshfs when the dirs are on the same disk as the mounted volume, but fail when removing non-empty dirs on a different disc than the mounted directory. /mnt ---> ss...@server:/home/user/externaldisc/ , then Nautilus remove 'subdir' works fine... /mnt ---> ss...@server:/home/user/ , then Nautilus remove 'externaldisc/subdir' fails... kind regards, -- fail to delete directory over sshfs with nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371289 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
