Hi all,
Running SerNet Samba 4.0.9 on CentOS 6.4 serving as an AD DC and
fileshare for XP clients.
Added recycler per the example at
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions to my
smb.conf. Works great.
My concern is that the recycle dir will eventually grow large.
vfs_recycle's docs mention a parameter for limiting individual file
sizes, but what's a best practice to prevent the whole recycle folder
from growing too large? Cronjob to delete old files when the total is
past a certain size? Anyone have a script handy? (I'm hoping I'm not
the only one with this problem :) Seems like it would be a common
concern...)
Thanks,
Kev
I use a script to cleanup the deleted files and run it daily with cron.
cat /usr/bin/cleanupold
#!/bin/bash
find /var/share/.recycle/* -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
In /var/spool/cron/root
@daily /usr/bin/cleanupold > /dev/null 2>&1 #Cleanup old audio files

Thanks John, but I meant more so is there a way to have it look at the
total size of the recycle dir too? I.e. only delete stale files when
it needs to to stay within a limit, and also even delete not-so-stale
files if it needs to because there have been too many GB deleted
lately to keep 30 days worth (or whatever) around?
Thanks again,
Kev
This will find files larger than 50MB.
find /var/share/.recycle/* -type f -size +50000k -exec rm {} \;
Look at the man pages for find to get more options.
