Amahi Forums

Hi,

I recently installed Amahi 9 and came across the wiki for setting up Recycle bins per Share (https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Recycle_bins)

I have added the Extra Parameter in one of my shares, however it does not seem to work. I SSH'ed into the server and verified that even after deletion, there is no Recycle folder that has been created. Am I missing something here or is this not relevant on this version anymore?

I think it would always be wise to have an option to have the files go to a "Recycle Bin" to prevent accidental deletion. Are there any other options available in Amahi to prevent such a disaster?

Ensure you typed in the entry by hand. Next did you restart Samba?

Nothing is setup by default which is normal for a server. If you would like to make a suggestion, please submit a bug report and add it as a feature request. Login with your amahi.org credentials.

Thank you for the quick response. I had initially copy/pasted the value, once I typed the vfs details by hand, it started working and the .recycle folder was automatically created. I did not have to restart Samba for this.

On another note, is there a setting to schedule clean up of the .recycle folder? Does it have to be manually cleared?

Yes but you can set up a cron job to do it automatically I believe.
