Bug Description

We mount a nfs filesysteme in /etc/fstab:
192.168.100.1:/home/projets /serveur/projets nfs rw,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 0 0
We can access, create and write files to this path.
When we try to move a file from this path to the trash, we get an error message:
Error, file not on the same filesystem

But we can delete the file with SHIFT+DEL

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

I'm running 9.04.

It's happening to me.

I have several hard drives that I mount through Nautilus. They are all either Ext3 or NTFS drives.

I can normally "send files to trash" on all NTFS drives - they are simply moved to .Trash-1000 on the drive and appear on the Trash Can.

However, whenever I try the same on my Ext3 drives (other than the ones mounted during boot) I get the "can't send the file to trash, do you want to delete it?" pop-up.

This is really annoying, and just costed me a large file that I accidentally deleted.

Please let me know what the information you require to move forward on this is.
