Hi

I am having a problem with my btrfs partitions: symlinks are reported to=20
have different device numbers than directories and regular files, even=20
though they are on the same partition. This causes my backup software to=20
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=20
running Arch Linux.

Is this normal? And if not, how do I fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
