But they are not symlinked. Actually, I would strongly suspect that these two files are hard linked together. I have an older RH based system that shows the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ stat /etc/hosts File: "/etc/hosts" Size: 365 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 Regular File Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 82900 Links: 2 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: Thu Sep 20 11:02:26 2007 Modify: Sun Sep 2 09:48:41 2007 Change: Sun Sep 2 09:48:41 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ stat /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts File: "/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts" Size: 365 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 Regular File Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 82900 Links: 2 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: Thu Sep 20 11:02:26 2007 Modify: Sun Sep 2 09:48:41 2007 Change: Sun Sep 2 09:48:41 2007 Notice that the Inode number is identical between these 2 files, which proves they are hard linked together. > It seems like Bacula is getting confused about which hosts file I > actually want restored.

If the inode numbers are the same, they are just a single file with multiple names. chris - -- Chris Shelton Indiana University - Financial Management Services - - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHAT5dM5TknMKatUwRAtARAJ0dE65geKEITjLMTGwvRvaPlDxruwCgmP+v 1e0bnkKFiGrhXf1+iiQCuvc= =mWee -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
