Hello,

I'm using backuppc as a package distributed by the Debian distro. The 
version I use was delivered by Etch so that it's been upgraded when I 
upgraded to Lenny.

Here's my conf :
2 external disks are plugged on this box through ESATA connection => 
/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc
There is only one partition on each of these discs => /dev/sdb1 and 
/dev/sdc1 (both ext3)

Everything was going well, backing up of Unix and MS machines worked 
well since I upgraded the distro (I know...)

Now, each time a backup is trying to start for a host, i get this error 
message on the logfile :

"2009-03-16 17:31:25 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 and /var/lib/backuppc/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..."

/var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 is dynamically linked to /mnt/sdb1/linuxsrv1

The FS is not full at all (50% free). I tried to manually hardlink from 
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 to /var/lib/backuppc/cpool, it works. All 
the files are owned by the 'backuppc' user, then no permissions problem.


I've only been able to run a backup for a host which is not attached to 
a ESATA disc (that's to say no symlinked in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/)

I don't really know what to do...

Thanks.
