my situation is quite unique:
- I am using a macbookpro and running VMFusion for Ubuntu
- I am sharing a particular folder between ubuntu and mac via "Shared Folders"
- As you all know, this means that my folder will be mounted to my kernel at /mnt/hgfs/
I am a pretty careless person and I have always aliased rm=gvfs-trash. I realized that for mounted partitions, '/mnt/hgfs/.Trash-501' (the normal location of trash folders on each parition) does not exist. I have tried using both rm=gvfs-trash and rm=trashput and they seem to be encountering the same error.
What's a good fix for this?
(I am contemplating symlinking /home/disappearedng/.local/share/Trash to /mnt/hgfs/.Trash-501 but then I am encountering an error ln: creating symbolic link
./Trash': No such file or directory` which I have no reason why. )
EDIT: I am not here to debate whether I want to use rm -i
or why I have chosen to pick gvfs-trash and trash-cli. I simply feel it's safer and I will not switch to the original rm. So please don't give answers that directs me to using the original rm.
rm='rm -i
. Keep in mind that FAT32 does not support symbolic links.rm='rm -i'
- closing apostroph not to forget. Of course you test it first, though.
