advice on copy fail please
 

hi!

my first post—

i am testing superduper! and am consistently seeing the following error which means i then have to abort the clone:

| 10:56:09 PM | Error | SDCopy: Error creating hard link /Volumes/kronos/usr/share/terminfo/41/Apple_Terminal to /Volumes/kronos/usr/share/terminfo/6e/nsterm for inode (null)\n: Too many links
| 10:56:09 PM | Error | ****FAILED****: result=256 errno=0 (Unknown error: 0)


any ideas?

thanks!

:o

Are you using "Copy Newer"?

if you mean

in the general tab
under "during copy"
select "copy newer files from x to y"

yes — that is the case

thanks for the swift response!

Switch to "Smart Update" and let's see if that fixes things.

yes! that works — thank you!

I am intrigued as to what the problem may have been... any ideas?

:)

Don't know yet, but it seems to have to do with certain types of hard link files and copy newer (which, in general, shouldn't be used anyway by most people).
