Recycle Bin & FSD

NTFSD

Does anyone know how the Recycle Bin interacts with the FSD ? Is there
anything special I should do in order for the Recycle Bin to function
properly on my custom FS implementation ?

You need to handle properly setting disposition information with
DeleteFile flag set to FALSE.

Recycler is an Explorer ‘feature’. On pre-XP versions, to get complete
recycler functionality, I found it handy to have the name of my FS be
NTFS or FAT. It seemed to check this… Haven’t tested this on XP and
later.

Other than that, it is a bunch of renames that Explorer will send you
when a file is deleted.

Hope this helps,

Pete

No, but FSDs are complex beasts, so, it is better to test them with as
large number of apps as possible.

Moving to the recycle bin is not a delete. You will see a rename. You
might also see IRP_MJ_SET_INFORMATION FileDispositonInformation with
DeleteFile TRUE followed by the same with DeleteFile FALSE. This could be
for the file moved to the recycle bin. If the file is a directory then you
can also see this pattern for files down the tree from that directory.
Well, that’s what I see anyway.
