Re: [BackupPC-users] Fuse filesystem to explore backups

[Craig B. <cba...@us...>]

Daniel,

I updated backuppcfs.pl for 4.x.  I've attached the gzip'ed new version.

Unfortunately fuse creates its own inode numbers, so hardlinks won't be
correctly rendered via fuse (ie: the inode numbers of two hardlinked files
won't be the same when viewed via fuse).
