Sorry for jumping in, I seem to have missed most of the rest of the
thread somehow so maybe my assumption this is about not using the
recycle bin on NetApp drives is incorrect, but wouldn't allowing the
configuration of whether to use the recycle bin per mount point be a
better way of dealing with this than trying to "guess" based on (faulty)
information got back from the drive? Actually I thought this was already
possible, but can't find it on the website.
