I've been getting an error pop up from time to time, the full text of which is:
Creating Hardlink to Timeshift file failed
The filesystem on your Timeshift Device does not support hardlinks
Make sure it is formatted in EXT2, EXT3 or EXT4!
[Error 17] File exists
The timeshift device is formatted EXT4 (see below for evidence) - so has anyone else ever seen this erropr and fixed it?
-------
I've run df -T and the results for the media hdd where my timeshift is saved is showing as EXT4 viz:
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
