Sure. I use --bind mounts to link working directories on various SSDs to a common location that gets backed up frequently. The bind mounts are preferable to symlinks so that backups of the common location (backed up onto slower HDD storage) execute correctly---traversing symlinks is not a reasonable option for me since each of those working directories makes extensive use of symlinks to save space, and dereferencing all of those would replicate a bunch of data, making backups much slower and data restores essentially impossible.
In my case, having a bunch of ".Trash-1000"s hiding is problematic. I work around it currently by making judicious use of "locate" and "find". For me, just having "delete" direct-delete the files---like what happens when you delete a file within a symlinked folder on a different FS--- instead of moving them to a ".Trash-1000" folder would be much better, but I can't speak for everyone on this. In any case, it looks like Rodrigo Silva also has some relevant comments in the bugzilla site linked earlier (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604015). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594674 Title: Trash is not shown on --bind mounted filesystems Status in The "G" Library - GLib: Confirmed Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus I have a secondary partition, mounted at /media/data, from which I --bind mount a directory to be my ~/Videos using fstab. When I use Nautilus to navigate into ~/Videos and move a file into trash (either using Delete or by dragging or whatever), the file vanishes, but does not show up when I open Trash from the side panel. If I press Ctrl+H to see hidden files I find a ~/Videos/.Trash-1000 directory, under which the file has been moved. Navigating to /media/data/path/Videos and removing the file from there moves it under /media/data/.Trash-1000, from where it correctly shows up in the trash can.
