------- Comment #4 from uto...@email.unc.edu 2011-02-14 09:54 CST ------- Perhaps related: I'm using rsync 3.0.7 between two Fedora 13 boxes. Every day I backup a tree of just under 10000 files and directories. I keep 30 days worth of backups in directories with names like image.2011-02-11_0520, image.2011-02-12_0520, image.2011-02-13_0520... I found some time ago by trial and error that --link-dest=<some_prior_backup> would only work if specified 20 or fewer times. Recently I noticed increased disk usage on the backup machine, and discovered that my backups no longer had hard links. It was as if --link-dest was not specified at all. Further trial and error showed that where 20 --link-dest options would work before, now only 12 would. I have cut that down to 5, and it seems to be working, but why it would work with 20 before, 12 now, and fail silently in any case seems... strange. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.samba.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
