Human script:
1. Open a terminal
# Part 1: create empty directory in $HOME, and mount different file system to
it.
# "Different filesystem" will exist entirely in RAM, and will take at most 5M.
$ cd ~
$ mkdir tmp_tester
$ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=5M,uid=1000,gid=1000 trash_test tmp_tester
# Part 2: create 512K file in new file system
$ cd tmp_tester
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=./aFile bs=512K count=1
# Part 3: recreate behavior, note new Trash area not accessible via GUI
$ ls -lA # list files, including hidden stuffs. Note lack of .Trash-1000/
directory.
$ gnome-open . # should open a window viewing the contents of this directory
[ ... remove the file by striking delete on your keyboard ... ]
[ *** Where did the file go? It's still there, the bytes are still tied up,
but you can't "empty" this file system's trash.*** ]
[ ... either close the window or otherwise return to the terminal ... ]
$ ls -lA # Note that .Trash-1000/ now exists. In it you find the file you
removed via the GUI.
Thus, it's possible to finally remove the file, but not via the GUI.
