Hi, This problem is not due to hardlinks -- that message about them is just a warning. This problem arises during the symlink check. rdiff-backup performs the following steps on the destination (TERASTATION):
$ touch symlinked_file1 $ ln -s symlinked_file1 symlinked_file2 $ ls -l symlinked_file2 It tries to make a symlink and then check that it is, in fact, a symlink. The assertion error is happening because TERASTATION or Samba is reporting that symlinked_file2 is not a symlink. Can you try: 1) The above command line steps and see what happens (maybe put them in a script and then send the output) 2) Mounting the share using CIFS instead of SMBFS ... users have had more luck with CIFS, although they sometimes need to follow the tips in the FAQ: http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/FAQ.html#cifs Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
