[BackupPC-users] Debian Etch to Lenny problem with external disks
Hello, I'm using backuppc as a package distributed by the Debian distro. The version I use was delivered by Etch so that it's been upgraded when I upgraded to Lenny. Here's my conf : 2 external disks are plugged on this box through ESATA connection = /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc There is only one partition on each of these discs = /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 (both ext3) Everything was going well, backing up of Unix and MS machines worked well since I upgraded the distro (I know...) Now, each time a backup is trying to start for a host, i get this error message on the logfile : 2009-03-16 17:31:25 Can't create a test hardlink between a file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 and /var/lib/backuppc/cpool. Either these are different file systems, or this file system doesn't support hardlinks, or these directories don't exist, or there is a permissions problem, or the file system is out of inodes or full. Use df, df -i, and ls -ld to check each of these possibilities. Quitting... /var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 is dynamically linked to /mnt/sdb1/linuxsrv1 The FS is not full at all (50% free). I tried to manually hardlink from /var/lib/backuppc/pc/linuxsrv1 to /var/lib/backuppc/cpool, it works. All the files are owned by the 'backuppc' user, then no permissions problem. I've only been able to run a backup for a host which is not attached to a ESATA disc (that's to say no symlinked in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/) I don't really know what to do...
