Re: [Bug 8450] New: --link-dest seems not to work mounted NTFS file systems
Just to clarify, Is the destination file system NTFS? Also, is this storage directly attached or is it mounted via the network? Finally, you mentioned it is mounted read-only would you please clarify why the drive you are writing to is mounted in this way? Thanks.
