This kernel is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to old for any production use of BTRFS. Heck, upstream still did not mark BTRFS as stable although Oracle and SUSE do support it. Current kernel have a many fixes. Use at least 3.2. And have backups anyway. The hard-link issue is known since ages and being worked on (see link from Jan in this thread). If you want to help, test the patch. So, folks, can we get over it? Thanks, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
