Creating Trash for shared NTFS partition

  • 772

Is there a way to create a trash for the shared NTFS partition with Windows. Whenever I delete something, It says that it can't be moved to the trash and will be deleted immediately.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda7 during installation

    I suggest you change the final line of your /etc/fstab file with the following:

    /dev/disk/by-uuid/01D60CFF0BF1D440              /mnt/Windows          ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,x-gvfs-show,utf8 0 0

    The uid, dmask and fmask options are setting the security options on the ntfs file system. They should be fine for you. The utf8 option helps manage file names between Windows and Linux. For this to work you will need a mount point at /mnt/Windows, which is simpler than what you currently have:

    sudo mkdir /mnt/Windows

    To edit your fstab file use:

    sudo nano -B /etc/fstab

    This will create a backup copy of the original fstab. Let us know how you get on
