while a day does sound rather long, BackupPC_link potentially has a lot of
work to do. For the first backup, it will need to look at *every* file in
the backup and find out if there is a match in the pool. If you have many
identical files (or files with identical hashes), that will involve a lot
of file comparisons. Finally, the files need to be linked into the pool,
which involves random accesses to a lot of directories. Incorrect mount
options could slow all of this down.
'ps' can tell you if BackupPC_link is actually still running.
How many files have you got? How much memory? Did it finish in the mean time?
How long did it take? How long did the *backup* take? What FS/hardware is the
pool on? What mount options are you using?
Regards,
Holger
