hard link of symbolic link on nfs in 9.1.1

[Jens-Peter Otto]

Hi,
since upgrading an 8.3 box to 9.1.1 I get errors while running rsnapshot to create backups on a nfs-share.
Rsnapshot conserves older backups by creating a hardlink (cp -l). When the "file" is a symbolic link, it gets an error:

Code:

/bin/cp: cannot create hard link `DESTINATIONFILE' to `SOURCEFILE': Unknown error 524

Any idea where I could look to solve this issue? Are there relevant switches for nfs?

TIA,
Jens-Peter Otto

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I've just started working with a new FreeNAS I built and encountered this identical problem.

I MAY have found a solution. I'm trying to run rsnapshot on Linux "clients" backing up over NFS to the FreeNAS system. When I comment out the line

Code:

cmd_cp        /bin/cp

in rsnapshot.conf, it works. (I should say it works in one experiment so far. I'll keep testing.)
