Check your file system and OS settings. Ext3 should be good, but if CentOS is configured for small systems it could be tweaked so that there is a limit like 32k hard links maximum, or a file size maximum. Again I have not found Ext2 or 3 to have this issue.
I did run into this (or at least similar) issue on AIX some years ago. Lots of luck, Jack -----Original Message----- Subject: [BackupPC-users] Too many links? Hello, I'm running BackupPC 3.0.0 on CentOS 4, with ext3 file systems. When trying to backup one of our servers, BackupPC logs the below error: Too many links at /backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarExtract line 320 After a while, the backup process gets aborted. Any ideas on what might be causing the error, and how to fix the problem?
