by all means, try it. But it's not the file list that is the specific problem
of BackupPC.

It's still a matter of file count (used inodes, to be exact), not pool storage
size. rsync V3 may perform significantly better if you have many links to
comparatively few inodes, but if you have many inodes (for some unknown value
of "many"), I am still convinced that you will hit a problem. Feel free to
convince me otherwise, but "works for me" is unlikely to succeed ;-).
