generally, it's a good idea to mention what your problem is first. Nobody
likes trying to guess your issue from what your log file says. How about
simply putting

before the log file quote?

Ah, you didn't read the documentation, right? There *are* recent versions
which actually support this, but likely you're not using one of those.
If you aren't, you should look at

Really? I've been following the list for quite some time, and I don't recall
anything of this sort, while there have been hundreds of threads dealing with
problems with changing TopDir. Actually, just googling for "BackupPC_link got
error -4" will point you in the right direction if you read through the first
few hits.

Do you also have invoke-rc.d in your path ? ;-)

Where do you get the impression there's anything wrong with the file system?
Reading and creating files works, linking consistently fails, so the FS is
corrupt? I don't know how good xfs_repair is, but I'd be *very* careful about
*repairing* any FS I'm not absolutely sure is actually corrupt. 'fsck' should
be a safe start, though it probably won't do anything on an XFS the FS driver
hasn't detected any corruption on.
