Ok, I freely admit that I'm in over my head here... I am NOT a perl
programmer. However, here is the method that is puking when trying to
create the links:
sub MakeFileLink
{
my($bpc, $name, $d, $newFile, $compress) = @_;
my($i, $rawFile);
return -1 if ( !-f $name );
for ( $i = -1 ; ; $i++ ) {
return -2 if ( !defined($rawFile = $bpc->MD52Path($d,
$compress)) );
$rawFile .= "_$i" if ( $i >= 0 );
if ( -f $rawFile ) {
if ( (stat(_))[3] < $bpc->{Conf}{HardLinkMax}
&& !compare($name, $rawFile) ) {
unlink($name);
return -3 if ( !link($rawFile, $name) );
return 1;
}
} elsif ( $newFile && -f $name && (stat($name))[3] == 1 ) {
my($newDir);
($newDir = $rawFile) =~ s{(.*)/.*}{$1};
mkpath($newDir, 0, 0777) if ( !-d $newDir );
return -4 if ( !link($name, $rawFile) );
return 2;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}
The line:
return -4 if ( !link($name, $rawFile) );
is where the problem occurs. How do I get the contents of $name or
$rawFile to spit out into the log so I can see for sure where it is
trying to link to/from?
I'd like to try manually creating the link as Les suggested as the
backuppc user, but I'm unsure what to pass to ln in the shell.
Here, again, is the error from my log:
2008-02-27 15:03:50 BackupPC_link got error -4 when calling
MakeFileLink(/mnt/plump/backuppc/pc/192.168.0.8/6/f%2fUsers%2fkathy/
attrib, 3a473beda0c8d3677d88cd783aa4cc68, 1)
I'm just unsure how to take the parameters that are passed to
MakeFleLink and convert them into whatever is passed to the link call
later.
Thanks!

Pool is used if you don't have compression enabled, cpool if you

getting errors making the links, check that you have space (df)
and inodes available (df -i), and that the directory is writable
by the backuppc user.
Hmm....Something is definitely up with my inodes:

I notice that all my disks that are ReiserFS do not list any inode
info at all... is ReiserFS the problem, then? Should I change the
backuppc disk to be ext3?
Reiserfs creates inodes as needed so that's not a problem. Just
look at your logs and if you still see 'unable to link' errors, try
to find the reason. Trying execute the same ln command as the
backuppc user might give you some sort of error message.
