In reading my previous message (below) I realize I didn't provide much
information about what I'm trying to do.
I have an NAS (that doesn't support hard links) mounted on /var/lib/backuppc.
Here's the /etc/fstab entry:
//nas/backup /var/lib/backuppc cifs \
credentials=/var/lib/backuppc/.smbpasswd,uid=backuppc,gid=backups 0 0
since backuppc uses hard links in pool, cpool, etc., this gives thousands of
MakeFileLink errors. I'm using tar as the transport mechanism.
I'm not able to think of a way of using this device (which has lots of space)
and backuppc and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Greg

Subject: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC on file systems that don't support hard
links?
I've been reading the archives and searching the web all day and haven't been
able to find an answer to this so I apologize in advance if it's something I
should have been able to figure out.
Is there a way to configure or use backuppc with a file system that DOES NOT
support hard links? The file system in question (a NAS) has gobs of space
(3TB) so space is not an issue but I've confirmed multiple times that it
doesn't support hard links via either cifs or samba. I've also verified that
the OS I'm running (linux/ubuntu) does correctly create hard links on a windows
XP file system via samba.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Greg
