Since TM relies on folder hard links, that could be an issue.
That is not my understanding of how it works. A POSIX-compliant file
system cannot have directory hard links.
Well, for one, I don't think HFS+ is particularly POSIX-compliant...
That may explain it...
... but even
if it is not, it is HFS+ in leopard that supports Directory Hard
links. As
well, from what I've read, there's nothing in POSIX that forbids
directory
hard links...
I didn't just blurt this out. I did do some minimal research. (# man

Someone needs to update the man page that comes with XCode 3.0,
latest download from developer.apple.com. I did read the mactech.com
article, and it would be cool if this new behavior were officially
documented somewhere besides what some guy discovered by tracing
system calls.
But if you're a good little programmer, you'll still pay attention
to the man page. I'd deem this behavior "for Apple use only" at this
point!
And Apple has said as much for as long as it's been known to the
developer community...
