peternlewis Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Retrospect has a warning that appears on one of my Macs: Warning: Copying hard-linked directories (such as those created by Time Machine) is not supported. Unfortunately, the warning does not tell me *what* hardlinked directory it is talking about. I have checked the disk over thoroughly, and as far as I can tell there are no hardlinked directories on the volume, so I'd really like the log message to tell me the name of at least one of the supposed hardlinked directories so I can investiage the issue.

peternlewis Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 No comments? Do the developers read this? Every warning should aim to give the user at least a hint of how to resolve the problem… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdunagan Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Retrospect displays this warning if it comes across the same directory path multiple times while scanning, indicating a hard-linked directory. Time Machine is the most common example of this, but we also found one in an OS X 10.10 Preview. You're quite right about including at least one path for this message. We'll look into this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
