Hardlinks are a critical part of the backuppc process. At this time, I dont
believe that you can use a filesystem that does not support hard links.
Also, "CIFS" is not a disk based filesystem. Behind that CIFS share there
is another on disk filesystem. See if you can find out what that is or if
you can configure the NAS for NFS.
