Public bug reported:
I have a SSD and a RAID0 composed of 2 harddisks (mounted on /data, for
the following description). On the RAID0, I have all my photos. When I
delete a photo, it is moved to trash. No bug so far.
As the SSD wears quickly while copying the files to it and as moving
would be much quicker, I wanted to put my trash on the RAID0.
I created a link from ~/.local/share/Trash to /data/Trash. Now, when
trying to delete a file (for example named xyz), I get a dialog with the
message Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?
and The file xyz cannot be moved to the trash. No reason is
indicated (already a bug for itself, in my eyes). It's not a problem
related to the access rights.
I also tried to mount the Trash directory on ~/.local/share/Trash with
option --bind. The error message is the same.
I consider this to be a bug. Nautilus is able to do this on USB sticks
etc., so why not on a partition mounted during boot? As well, it is
common in Unix to solve such problems with links and should be
understood by Nautilus (especially, as the delete operation would result
in a cheap move instead of an expensive copy.
And: This bug really causes problems to all users who have a rather
small SSD boot device and HD data devices. The SSD wears quickly.
