#13143: Hard-links used for image-mode don't really fit Time Machine -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: spiralyoda-macports@yahoo.fr | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.5.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by spiralyoda-macports@yahoo.fr): Well, of course it's an issue of Time Machine, but : a) I don't think we have enought weight to make sure apple solves it so we'd better find a workaround in macports. b) The way hard-links work make it really difficult to store them on a different hard-drive (reference number for a file on a volume...) c) Time machine internally uses hard-links for incremental backups d) I don't think what is done with hard-links in macports couldn't be done as well with symlinks, and symlinks would perfectly fit with Time Machine. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13143#comment:3> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
