26 <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
28 <para>This VFS module is part of the
29 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
30 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
32 <para>The <command>vfs_recycle</command> intercepts file deletion
33 requests and moves the affected files to a temporary repository
34 rather than deleting them immediately. This gives the same effect
35 as the Recycle Bin on Windows computers. </para>
37 <para>The Recycle Bin will not appear in Windows Explorer
38 views of the network file system (share) nor on any mapped
39 drive. Instead, a directory called .recycle will be automatically
40 created when the first file is deleted and recycle:repository is
41 not configured. If recycle:repository is configured, the name
42 of the created directory depends on recycle:repository. Users
43 can recover files from the recycle bin. If the recycle:keeptree
44 option has been specified, deleted files will be found in a path
45 identical with that from which the file was deleted. </para>
48 <para>This module is stackable.</para>
54 <title>OPTIONS</title>
59 <term>recycle:repository = PATH</term>
61 <para>Path of the directory where deleted files should be moved.
63 <para>If this option is not set, the default path .recycle
69 <term>recycle:directory_mode = MODE</term>
71 <para>Set MODE to the octal mode the recycle repository
72 should be created with. The recycle repository will be
73 created when first file is deleted. If recycle:subdir_mode
74 is not set, MODE also applies to subdirectories.
76 <para>If this option is not set, the default mode
82 <term>recycle:subdir_mode = MODE</term>
84 <para>Set MODE to the octal mode with which
85 sub directories of the recycle repository should be created.
87 <para>If this option is not set, subdirectories
88 will be created with the mode from recycle:directory_mode.
94 <term>recycle:keeptree = BOOL</term>
96 <para>Specifies whether the directory structure should
97 be preserved or whether the files in a directory that is being
98 deleted should be kept separately in the repository.
104 <term>recycle:versions = BOOL</term>
106 <para>If this option is True, two files with the same
107 name that are deleted will both be kept in the repository.
108 Newer deleted versions of a file will be called
109 "Copy #x of filename".
115 <term>recycle:touch = BOOL</term>
117 <para>Specifies whether a file's access date should be
118 updated when the file is moved to the repository.
124 <term>recycle:touch_mtime = BOOL</term>
126 <para>Specifies whether a file's last modified date should be
127 updated when the file is moved to the repository.
133 <term>recycle:minsize = BYTES</term>
135 <para>Files that are smaller than the number of bytes
136 specified by this parameter will not be put into the
143 <term>recycle:maxsize = BYTES</term>
145 <para>Files that are larger than the number of bytes
146 specified by this parameter will not be put into the
153 <term>recycle:exclude = LIST</term>
155 <para>List of files that should not be put into the
156 repository when deleted, but deleted in the normal way.
157 Wildcards such as * and ? are supported.
163 <term>recycle:exclude_dir = LIST</term>
165 <para>List of directories whose files should not be put
166 into the repository when deleted, but deleted in the
167 normal way. Wildcards such as * and ? are supported.
173 <term>recycle:noversions = LIST</term>
175 <para>Specifies a list of paths (wildcards such as *
176 and ? are supported) for which no versioning should
177 be used. Only useful when recycle:versions is enabled.
186 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
188 <para>Move files "deleted" on <parameter>share</parameter> to
189 <parameter>/data/share/.recycle</parameter> instead of deleting them:
193 <smbconfsection name="[share]"/>
194 <smbconfoption name="path">/data/share</smbconfoption>
195 <smbconfoption name="vfs objects">recycle</smbconfoption>
196 <smbconfoption name="recycle:repository">.recycle</smbconfoption>
197 <smbconfoption name="recycle:keeptree">yes</smbconfoption>
198 <smbconfoption name="recycle:versions">yes</smbconfoption>
204 <title>VERSION</title>
206 <para>This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
211 <title>AUTHOR</title>
213 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
214 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
215 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
216 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
