which process is using up your CPU time? BackupPC_dump? BackupPC_tarExtract? What files does it have opened (fuser, lsof, /proc/<pid>/fd/ ...)? Aside from that, there should be no such thing as a recursive hard link :). *Softlinks* tend to be recursive sometimes, but you usually eventually get a ENAMETOOLONG or maybe ELOOP (and an error message like /etc/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/...../X11: file name too long or something like that). > maybe run fslint to see if there's some kind of bad file? Hmm, on client or server side? Thinking about it, what does your server status show under "Pool hashing"? Your "small backup" doesn't happen to consist of a bunch of files with identical BackupPC hash? :) Regards, Holger ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
