"Move to Trash" files not showing in Trash

Post by Gazza »

Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
Kernel: 6.5.0-1018-oem
Mint system on a 1T NVME with Windows 10 - dual boot.
Home dot folders on a 2T NVME
Documents, Music etc folders on a 4T spinny with syslinks on the home folder pointing to the appropriate folders on the spinny.

Everything working OK except for 2 problems.
1 - Incorrect icons in the Nemo left panel, easy fixed by editing the user-dirs.dirs in the .config folder and now working OK.

2 - Files on the spinny "Move to Trash" are not showing in the Trash folder but have been moved to the .Trash-1000 folder on the spinny.

On reboot the offending files show in the Trash folder.
Files moved or deleted on either of the 2 NVME drives are working as they should.

Copy of the fstab entry for the offending drive.
LABEL=My_Documents /media/gazza/My_Documents auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
Yep I probably should have used the UUID for this drive. Appreciate it if anyone has the correct syntax using the UUID
TIA

example fstab entry using UUID:

UUID=6e6bcff8-3e24-4f6e-a8f5-3696a668a773 /mnt/backup ext4 defaults,nofail,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 2

Today I updated 21.2 to 21.3 rebooted and created some temp files on the 4T spinny and then moved them to trash. This time they were moved to the Trash folder but showed twice in the Trash folder - weird.
This turned out to be a temp situation with "Move to Trash" files not moving to Trash until I rebooted when the offending files then appeared in the Trash folder and the "Move to Trash" worked as it should for a while but again this turned out to be a temp thing and I'm back to files being moved to the .Trash-1000 folder on the spinny but not to the main Trash folder.
Not sure if any of the above is making sense because it's got me bloody confused. :?

This problem only started after I moved the Documents, Music, Video etc. folders from Home on the 2T m.2 to the 4T spinny.

Apart from the above insane rambling the comp is working perfectly.
Any chance I may have stuffed sumptin' in the fstab entry?

When posting results of Terminal commands please paste them into a post instead of linking files that have to be opened/downloaded. I, and I'm sure many other members don't like the risk.

If you're unsure on how to do that:

In Terminal, click and drag the cursor from the beginning of the output and scroll to the end. Don't use the Select All from the Edit menu because that only selects what is showing on screen. Then, copy the results of the command from the Terminal by Shift+Ctrl+C or from the menu, Edit, Copy. In a forum post, click the </> button from the mini toolbar that can be found above the text box where you type your reply. Code tags [code][/code] will be inserted. Place your cursor between the code tags and paste the results of the command between the tags. Example: [code]copied results[/code]. Pasting can be done by Ctrl+V or right-click, Paste.
