Recycling bin elusive!

[arthertm]

Hi there,

Have a 8.3.0 x64 set up working running a CIFS share set up for anonymous with all shares working fine. I can access all my drives (5) read, write and delete.. problem is, which i can't work out, is even when I select 'export recycling bin' it doesn't show?? I don't have "show hidden files" selected.

It used to work and I don't know whats changed. I added a new drive and created an FTP user, using default FTP account, and haven't changed any CIFS settings or permissions on other drives...

All drives in ZFS with 8gb RAM.

Any help appreciated

The recycle bin is locally stored on the zpool. It is a hidden folder named ".recycle" and is in the root folder of the share that was used when a file was deleted.

For instance, if /mnt/tank/Music was shared as "Music" and you deleted a folder inside Music called "80s stuff" there would be a folder called /mnt/tank/Music/.recycle and that would contain a series of folders showing the user account that did the deleting and the "80s stuff" folder.

If you want to access the recycle bin from the share itself you will need to show hidden files as far as I know.

Keep in mind this is NOT the recycle bin that is on the desktop of every windows machine.

Much appreciated and thanks

Indeed I have activated hidden files on all drives and I can, along with some other files, see and access the recycling bins on each mount. This however creates me another problem in that the recycling bins contain files I cannot delete (files from guest user and another account I configured for ftp) stating windows cannot access/permissions issue.

I'm running in ananymous mode as I want simple without account issues (I have just one account in my name with a working ftp but without SSL as I regretably have the dreaded Virgin Superhub which I read is not too ftp SSL friendly).

Any help on how to empty each bin would again be much appreciated.

Thanks

Just to explain.. I'm running anonymous mode using the "nobody" account and user with all drives set to allow read and write access.

As far as I know the only user that can delete the recycle bin files is the root user. It may also be the wheel group, but if you add users to the wheel group they'll basically be administrators.

Thanks again..

So, sorry bear with me (I'm slowly getting my head around freenas), do I need to change my share permissions to root over the current nobody to achieve the correct admin rights?

On the drive permissions I assume?
