affa makes no hardlinks

Hi,

Sure ! But probably, there is a way to do the same things on two POSIX systems... More especially hard links certainly work on NFS/Linux, as well as on LINUX and NFS/BSD...

you should search on mint/ubuntu side

It's true. I was just asking here because I know that some people are backuping their SME on a linux station, and was hoping they could help me, even if the issue is certainly not affa or SME.
Thanks for your help anyway :-)

Using the same NFS storage server, when moving from AFFA ver2 on SME8 to AFFA ver3 on SME9, the archives began using the full GB per archive.
Backup jobs would complete in the usual time, but storage was diminishing quickly.
When mounting the NFS share, SME9 server defaulted to nfsvers=4, whereas SME8 was using NFSVER 3.
I mounted the NFS server from SME9 using nfsvers=3, which has solved the issue.
# vim /etc/fstab
192.168.100.2:/affa /affa nfs rsize=32768,wsize=32768,nfsvers=3,timeo=600,intr,soft,bg 0 0
I have now migrated from SME8 / AFFAv2 to SME9 / AFFAv3, and retained all previous archives.
Using du -sh * from the SME9 (or SME8) shows the correct byte count per archive, confirming hardlinks are working.

Can that go in the Wiki, or possibly a a bug against the affa contrib ?

in bugzilla, definitely.. it's a bug (unexpected behaviour) IMO
@gary: could you please open it? thank you

So it seems that you have found an NFS4 implementation issue in Linux Mint.
