Ah, thank you. This is what I was looking for.

This wouldn't help because without hardlinks, the backup of the
backuppc pool would be useless.

I know that a fsck will take long and consumes much memory (BTDT).
That's the price for the pool/dedup feature which is very nice if you
have many clients with identical data.

Most of the clients are backed up with bacula and backuppc. I alreay
lost one complete backuppc filesystem due to hardware errors...
