Hello. I am trying to copy an entire directory structure from a Unix box to
an NT share using a command like this:
tar -c -h -O /usr/local/sh | smbclient //ntstldls01/rs8724$ -Tx - -D chico
-U myuser%mypasswd
The problem is it chokes when it hits a file with 2 links (hard links - not
sym links).
I am using "-h" with tar to try to force it to copy the file rather
than the
link, but that doesn't seem to be helping.
Here is what the output looks like:
tar: Removing leading `/' from archive names

Do you have any idea why this isn't working, or what I can do to get it to
work?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
