Greetings Craig,
/mnt/backup's fs is ext2 which afaik supports hard links.
both of them resides on the same fs as /mnt/backup is mounted as sdc1 and there aren't anymore partitions on that drive.
/mnt/backup/pc has direcotries with the names of all the backuped system there are.
/mnt/backup/cpool shows a bunch of numbers.
but now I notice that the uid and gid are number, e.g. not existant, can that be the issue?

Dagg,
The error should be self-explanatory - either /mnt/backup is a file system that doesn't support hardlinks, or /mnt/backup/pc and /mnt/backup/cpool are two different file systems (and therefore hardlinks between them fail). Are they two different file systems?

Greetings,
I had a backuppc server running on debian 1o stable, the backups are on an external hdd.
I've migrated the machine to alpine linux, the backuppc version of both is 3.2.2.
I've copied over all the content of /etc/backuppc to the new os and when I start it up, I get this error:
2020-08-12 19:09:48 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /mnt/backup/pc and /mnt/backup/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting...
both /mnt/backup/pc and /mnt/backup/cpool exists and they are folders.
how can I go about fixing this without loosing my backups?
Thanks,
Dagg
