Bug Description
Hi all :)
System:
Ubuntu Feisty
Nautilus 2.18.1
Problem:
Can not delete file:
Error: "not on the same file system"
Scenario:
My (and others) home directory is mounted by automounter. I can browse create,delete, ... files with nautilus in my home as expected. In the home of another user I can browse and create files also. But when deleting (with context menu or by pressing delete key) I only get an error message "not on the same file system" -> cancel / retry.
It seems that nautilus wants to move the file to Trash and somehow is not successful. Retry and Cancel is not a good choice here. I found out that Shift+Del to kill the file works nevertheless.
So I would propose for the dialog to give the user the possibility to (permanently) remove the file instead of just failing. I expect that only experienced users know about the Shift+Del hotkey.
