That would make sense IF 0000_latest.jpg got written as /media/4tb/bak/home/darxus/0000_latest.jpg (omitting "panic-2012-02-01"). But it didn't, it was written as I expected to /media/2tb/bak/panic-2012-02-01/home/darxus/0000_latest.jpg Surely this is a bug?

Thank you very much. Bug, right?

No, the source is the 2tb filesystem, the destination and link-dest are both on the 4tb filesystem. And when you try to link files on two different filesystems it gives you a nice clear error. > My understanding is that it is not normally possible to hard-link between > file systems. It's not abnormally possible either. On 04/23, Voelker, Bernhard wrote: > Interestingly, the first 2 files have link count of 15. > Where are the other hardlinks of that file?
