Hi Dan, Thank you for your reply. That's really a shame, I really didn't know that. Otherwise I bought a different NAS system than the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini. Does anybody have a compatibilty list of all NAS systems that are compatible with hard links or maybe a tweak to alter any of them? I just think I'm going to use a standard rsync to the disk, because I wouldn't know howto use loopback images. Do you have an howto for this maybe?
