Hi,
I'm really not sure how to title this. Not even sure how on-topic this is but I really need help.
So I've created an LXC container using turnkey miedaserver template and am using it as a file server as well. All shares are actually mounted from the host as I want the host to have full access to everything. I also made a .recycle folder on the host and mounted it to /mnt/.recycle in the lxc and have configured samba to use that folder as a recycle bin. Yesterday I discovered that for whatever reason, only the folder structure of the deleted files is created in the recycle bin, but not files. If I leave the default samba path of /share/.recycle it all works fine. After hours of searching, asking ChatGPT and fiddling with permissions (even tried 777 on all relevant directories) the problem persisted. So today I decided to try and mount the default .recycle to my /mnt/.recycle folder and after some time figuring out correct permissions to prevent users from accessing the directory but still letting stuff be written, I managed to achieve that.
So now my files are recycled to share's .recycle folder and they all appear in the /mnt/.recycle folder. However, when accessing the .recycle folder on the host, nothing is visible. Now I know that due to my setup I can see the actual share and the .recycle on the host but what I really want is to have a common .recycle folder where all my containers would have their recycle bins so that only the host can view it all.
Please help as I'm completely lost on this. I think this is a samba bug or something as only the default path works correctly. Samba version is 4.13.
Thanks in advance!
