In case Kern's just-posted reminder about needed information for support was
aimed at me, I'm running Bacula 1.38.2 on RHEL4 Update 2.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Obnoxious hard link warnings

As is documented, when Bacula backs up a hard link it makes sure the
linked-to file is only backed up once, and generates warning messages on all
links to the same file after the first one.  On full backups of most Linux
systems this can produce a flood of messages.  One way to avoid this is turn
off the backup of links.  This results in redundant copies of the
hard-linked files but more importantly (to me, at least) makes the backup
unusable for a full system restore, since the hard links are gone.

Is there any way to suppress this particular warning message, short of my
patching find_one.c?  I can drop these messages by scanning for the specific
message text in my external log server, but I can't filter them out of
Bacula's console logging without suppressing all warning-class messages,
which I don't want to do.  I guess one thing I'm not thrilled about is the
choice to classify these messages as "warning" when they clearly are routine
when backing up hard links.
