Title:
  Gnome Nautilus cannot change trash location

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a SSD and a RAID0 composed of 2 harddisks (mounted on /data,
  for the following description). On the RAID0, I have all my photos.
  When I delete a photo, it is moved to trash. No bug so far.

  As the SSD wears quickly while copying the files to it and as moving
  would be much quicker, I wanted to put my trash on the RAID0.

  I created a link from ~/.local/share/Trash to /data/Trash. Now, when
  trying to delete a file (for example named xyz), I get a dialog with
  the message "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete
  immediately?" and "The file "xyz" cannot be moved to the trash." No
  reason is indicated (already a bug for itself, in my eyes). It's not a
  problem related to the access rights.

  I also tried to mount the Trash directory on ~/.local/share/Trash with
  option --bind. The error message is the same.

  I consider this to be a bug. Nautilus is able to do this on USB sticks
  etc., so why not on a partition mounted during boot? As well, it is
  common in Unix to solve such problems with links and should be
  understood by Nautilus (especially, as the delete operation would
  result in a "cheap" move instead of an "expensive" copy.

  And: This bug really causes problems to all users who have a rather
  small SSD boot device and HD data devices. The SSD wears quickly.
