I recently had to upgrade my machine to a newer version on Linux (Mandriva 2009.0) and with that comes BackupPC 3.1. Once I had setup installed BackupPC 3.1, mounted my backup device using cifs and restored my configuration files I started up BackupPC only to get the message: "Can't create a test hardlink......." And BackupPC would not start :-( Thankfully I have been able to comment out this check from the BackupPC program and get BackupPC up and running so that I can restore what I need from my backup drive via the web interface. Under BackupPC 3.0 I never had a problem performing backups and I can still access the backups that I have from the 3.0 version. There are no error messages in any of the log files. So, did something change between 3.0 and 3.1 ? Is there a way I can check manually by creating a hardlink on the backups partition from the shell ? Sorry, not a Linux guru so not well up on the commands to do this. I did take a look through the archives but nothing jumped out to me as to the problem. I would assume that since backups were working just fine with 3.0 that they should be fine in 3.1 and that my external drive is ok? Would appreciate any help as I'd like to get my backups up and running again. I did do a df -i and got the following output: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on //192.168.15.6/public 116M 1.7M 115M 2% /backups Regards, ____________________________________________ << File: ATT00020.txt >> << File: ATT00023.txt >> << File: ATT00089.txt >> << File: ATT00092.txt >>
