Possible to enable a recycle bin on AFP shares?

[walter77]

Hello everyone!
I'm planning to switch over from an old Synology to FreeNas, building my own server. The feature i need most is to have a recycle bin which only an administrator is allowed to empty. Synology does have this feature for SMB and AFP shares. I just looked to the manual and only can find an option for SMB shares. Is there another way to have this feature with AFP shares?

It looks like Synology has a customized version of Netatalk. Feel free to make a feature request for this. I can't guarantee when / if it will be done, but it will at least let us make a formal decision about whether it's worth bringing in.

IANAL, but Netatalk is GNU GPL, so I believe Synology has to give you their custom code if you ask them for it. :)

Thanks for your reply, i will look were to post the feature request but it seems i'm not allowed to. Can you tell me what's the right way or the right place or can you request the feature for me?

You can make the feature request here: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/projects/freenas
I was looking at Synology's GPL source. That's why I could definitively say that they have customized it.
