I've set up samba as a domain controller, I've enabled the recycle module in the [homes] so when a user deletes a file it is moved to the .salvage directory. Whilst the file moves when deleted, the times are not modified on the file even thought recycle:touch = yes. This means I cannot use an autodelete scriopt because the timestamps do not change My home share looks like this:[homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No force create mode = 0700 valid users = @ntadmins @ntresident # Hide files that linux permissions prevent access to hide unreadable = yes create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = .salvage recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:touch = yes recycle:versions = Yes recycle:exclude = ?~$*,~$*,*.tmp,*.temp,*.TMP recycle:exclude_dir = /tmp,/temp,/cache recycle:noversions = *.doc The file system is reisferfs, quota is enabled and working, the fstab entry for the filesystem is: /dev/hda3 / reiserfs notail,usrquota,grpquota 0 1 I can as root or as the samba users linux account manually touch files using the touch command I've looked for suggestions, but there's nothing! Using samba 3.0.9 and tried also 3.0.10 both are the same Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up recycle module with recycle:touch=yes 2. Delete a file 3. Actual Results: file not touched (but moved as expected) Expected Results: file moved AND touched.
Looking at the source code its clearly changing the last access date, and setting the last modified date to what it originally got from stat. So whats been seen is normal and not a bug, but I may submit a patch with option to samba that also changes the modified time. Windows is quite willing to change the access time when just viewing a folder of files due to autoview etc... and it reduces the value of touching files with the idea of later deleting them based on date.
