Hi Winston,
I'm guessing you will need to use a file system supporting hard links.
AFAIK NTFS does not.
So I would change to ext3 (or XFS/Reiser?), but I'm not an expert, so
you might want to wait for another list member to confirm that before
you proceed.

Hi Andy,
the filesystem currently is ntfs, i wasnt sure about what to make it,
any advice?
ill be more than happy to change it to ext3, that ill have to use
something like partition magick or the like, and export that with nfs
server.
for me the only problem is backuppc cannot write a socket file to the
fs, if i can change the location of that socket file ill be good to go,
or if i can get that socket to that disk, but ill wait for your reply.
thanks a lot man,
winston
