Comment 6 for bug 1066012

Okay, sorry I misunderstood you.

(1) can you please compare the inodes of a file that definitely hasn't change in two snapshots with 'ls -li <path>' ? The first column is the inode of the file. If BIT correctly created hardlinks for this file the inode must be the same for both files. The third column (if file is not a directory) is a count for how many file-links point on this inode and should be >1.

(2) can you please run test backups (only couple files include) with:
- disabled 'preserve acl' and 'preserve extended attributes' onto your xfs formated device
- again both disabled onto an ext2 (or 3 or 4) formated device
- both enabled onto ext2

Regards,
Germar
