Hi Dan,
Thank you for your reply.
That's really a shame, I really didn't know that. Otherwise I bought a
different NAS system than the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini. Does anybody have a
compatibilty list of all NAS systems that are compatible with hard links or
maybe a tweak to alter any of them?
I just think I'm going to use a standard rsync to the disk, because I
wouldn't know howto use loopback images. Do you have an howto for this
maybe?
Thanks,
Arthur
