Interesting but...
1. The system supports hardlinks
(I can create them manually and my pool and backups are full of hardlinks)
I even was able to create hardlinks to the pool members and files
that the errors occurred on.
2. There are plenty of inodes
Filesystem Inodes Used Available Use%
/dev/md0 60989440 848948 60140492 1%
3. Permissions are unchanged and seem fine
Topdir and everything directly in it are: backuppc.root
All files/directories below it are: backuppc.backuppc
Permissions are rw for files and rwx for directories
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further?
(the only possible complication I can think of is that I am doing this
over nfs but not sure why I would get these errors...)
Thanks!!
