[Bug 387895] Re: nautilus i deleted 8/9 of my harddisk - read why!
Thank you for taking the time to write this report. However, it is not a bug. By dragging the disk to the trash you removed its content. The warning you received was probably a warning about a file or directory that could not be deleted because it was protected from editing. Ubuntu, apparently in contrary to Mac OS, follows the analogy of the real life trash can. If you'd throw your hard disk in a real bin it would be gone as well. It's a shame, but this is how the GUI behaves. There is still some hope, you could try to retrieve some of the lost date, there could be traces of it if you haven't overwritten the (physical) parts on the disk that were previously used to store the data. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- nautilus i deleted 8/9 of my harddisk - read why! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387895 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

at the moment i have not the time to try this again. it is a 250gb hd, connected over ata 133 (ide) the whole harddisk was formated with one ntfs partition. i puted the device icon in the trash and after few moments it droped out an error message. i didnt noticed that all the data was gone, because 2/3 of the main direcotries stayed intact, but without any content. -- nautilus i deleted 8/9 of my harddisk - read why! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387895 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

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can't reproduce this - if I try to send a mouted usb device to trash in nautilus it doesnt allow this. So please answer these questions: 1. Is this reproducible? 2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible. What file system uses the device you had problems with? I assume it may be NTFS. 3. What error messages appear? This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Btw: why sould putting something in the trash umount a device? it should delete files, like a trash is supposed to do. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- nautilus i deleted 8/9 of my harddisk - read why! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387895 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
