Hi I am having a problem with my btrfs partitions: symlinks are reported to have different device numbers than directories and regular files, even though they are on the same partition. This causes my backup software to mess up backing up the symlinks. An illustrative example: $ touch tmp; ln -s tmp tmp2; stat tmp tmp2 File: `tmp' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 15h/21d Inode: 984027 Links: 1 --- snip --- File: `tmp2' -> `tmp' Size: 3 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 symbolic link Device: 13h/19d Inode: 984028 Links: 1 --- snip --- $ uname -r 2.6.35-ck I'm not using subvolumes, or any fancy features of btrfs, really. I'm running Arch Linux. Is this normal? And if not, how do I fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, -Toke Høiland-Jørgensen
