Hi everyone,

I m experiencing a hard time with trying to get Samba work with recycle vfs module.

I have latest stable Samba (3.0.1) running on Red Hat 9. I know that parameters for VFS modules are not located in separate files as they used to be in 2.x versions of samba, but I havent found any example how to do it which would actually work on my server.

This is piece of my smb.conf

When I use this settings it works with default options (uses .recycle but keeptree and versions are off)

Can anyone show me how to use this vfs module with specific keeptree, versions, touch and exclude settings?

I tried something like

vfs object = recycle recycle:repository=.kukuruku recycle:versions=True

but it didnt work (was still saving deleted files to .recycle) so i guess its not the right way how to do it

Thanks in advance

Hmm, i think i figured it....

hi!

please tell us _how_ you did it...

from where did you get the vfs recyle files?

thanks!

These VFS files come with Samba 3 package. i added
Weird that it worked, I could swear that I used the similar syntax before without success. Anyway I found VFS support quite buggy - there were quite a lot of errors in log files (including samba panic etc) so I decided to turn it off - but I ll try it again in upcomming versions on samba. On the other hand its worth a try, maybe it will work fine for you.

many thanks for your reply!

i'll try to get it working using the options you supplied.

i'm still using VFS and it works like a charm.
