Everything is ext3, currently all in one filesystem, and as I said, as soon
as I chown/chgrp'd the topdir the start script ran without an error.
So the hardlink error I got was due to the install routine setting the owner
to root, probably because the backuppc user was already there.
And it's all a red-herring, as the hardlink error message only came in after
I wiped and re-installed, never an issue in the original setup AFAIK.
Or is the message "link host-name" in my log when running "_dump
-v" manually indicate a hardlinkng problem kicking in **after** the pc
filesystem's already been created?
