NAME

vfs_recycle − Samba VFS recycle bin

SYNOPSIS

vfs objects = recycle

DESCRIPTION

This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

The vfs_recycle intercepts file deletion requests and moves the affected files to a temporary repository rather than deleting them immediately. This gives the same effect as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers.

The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped drive. Instead, a directory called .recycle will be automatically created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is not configured. If recycle:repository is configured, the name of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users can recover files from the recycle bin. If the recycle:keeptree option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path identical with that from which the file was deleted.

This module is stackable.

OPTIONS

recycle:repository = PATH

Path of the directory where deleted files should be moved.

If this option is not set, the default path .recycle is used.

recycle:directory_mode = MODE

Set MODE to the octal mode the recycle repository should be created with. The recycle repository will be created when first file is deleted. If recycle:subdir_mode is not set, MODE also applies to subdirectories.

If this option is not set, the default mode 0700 is used.

recycle:subdir_mode = MODE

Set MODE to the octal mode with which sub directories of the recycle repository should be created.

If this option is not set, subdirectories will be created with the mode from recycle:directory_mode.

recycle:keeptree = BOOL

Specifies whether the directory structure should be preserved or whether the files in a directory that is being deleted should be kept separately in the repository.

recycle:versions = BOOL

If this option is True, two files with the same name that are deleted will both be kept in the repository. Newer deleted versions of a file will be called "Copy #x of filename".

recycle:touch = BOOL

Specifies whether a file's access date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.

recycle:touch_mtime = BOOL

Specifies whether a file's last modified date should be updated when the file is moved to the repository.

recycle:minsize = BYTES

Files that are smaller than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.

recycle:maxsize = BYTES

Files that are larger than the number of bytes specified by this parameter will not be put into the repository.

recycle:exclude = LIST

List of files that should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as * and ? are supported.

recycle:exclude_dir = LIST

List of directories whose files should not be put into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way. Wildcards such as * and ? are supported.

recycle:noversions = LIST

Specifies a list of paths (wildcards such as * and ? are supported) for which no versioning should be used. Only useful when recycle:versions is enabled.

EXAMPLES

Move files "deleted" on share to /data/share/.recycle instead of deleting them:

[share]

	path = /data/share
	vfs objects = recycle
	recycle:repository = .recycle
	recycle:keeptree = yes
	recycle:versions = yes

VERSION

This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
