Trash Folders In ZFS Snapshots Recognized As Official Trash

  • 772

When I run gvfs-ls trash:// or go to Trash in nautilus, I see the trash from my ZFS snapshots. This should not be happening. I'm sure this is impacting performance issues I have been seeing lately.

Can someone out there with snapshots containing .Trash-1000 folders check if they are showing up on your systems?

Is there a way to configure the trash backend (gvfs?) to ignore .zfs folders?

  1. This issue appears to be a bug with Gnome and related to the .Trash-1000 directories in extra zfs datasets.

    The only way to avoid this is to not do file system scan of any kind against multiple snapshot directories, that contain .Trash-1000, in a short period of time. Otherwise, you system may hang and become unusable.
