[Gluster-devel] Trash translator for GlusterFS

[Jiffin Thottan]

Hi Niels,

The deleted files are moved to trash directory by appending timestamp to file name.So there is no chance of name collisions.The trash directory will be present in every brick.

In the given scenario,both README files are shown separately  in trash directory with different timestamps.

As of now ,a common trash directory will be available from the mount point.But there are some issues regarding this implementation.

Regards,
Jiffin

Could you include a practical example of deleting a file, the location 
where Trash keeps it and how the file can be found/restored?

How do you cover this scenario?

    $ echo 'Hello World!' > README
    $ rm README
    $ echo 'Hello Universe!' > README
    $ rm README

Which file(s) will be located in the Trash?

Thanks,
Niels
