Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Problem with CIFS and Hard Links

[Doug Renfrew]

Your right. I guess I just looked at the first warning about hard
linking and assumed that that was it. I have tested the mount and it is
case insensitive. From the bug report bellow it appears to have been
fixed in a more recent version. I was reluctant to install the
"unstable" version. Is there any reason why I should not?

Doug,

I believe your problem is the same as the one mentioned here:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?16852

I'm curious why you believe your problem is releated to hard links? My thinking is that it is connected to the 'a' and 'A' files that are created during that test. Do you know if your SAMBA mount is case sensitive or not? I think that is the crux of the issue.

Thanks,
Andrew
