Either you did not run ./configure on your NAS or there is some missing or modified header files. chflags is something that is implemented on FreeBSD and possibly other BSD systems, which are commonly used for NAS boxes. > > Since I'm unfamiliar the codebase, could someone tell me what effect > changing HAVE_CHFLAGS to undefined might have on operation of bacula and > associated programs. Well, without that code, Bacula will not save and restore the appropriate flags bits, which are an extension over standard Unix/Linux permissions. I would guess it may not be so important on a NAS, but the only way you can know is ask the manufacturer. If you want to know more look at the FreeBSD man pages for chflags.
