### Please describe the problem. I have a git annex clone on Andrew File System. I obtain an error when I try to add a file to the annex: git-annex: test: createLink: unsupported operation (Invalid cross-device link) ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Create a test file with touch and add it with git annex add. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex 4.20130723 on Debian sid. ### Please provide any additional information below. [[!format sh """ gio@crack:~/nobackup/archive$ touch test gio@crack:~/nobackup/archive$ git annex add test add test git-annex: test: createLink: unsupported operation (Invalid cross-device link) failed git-annex: add: 1 failed gio@crack:~/nobackup/archive$ logout """]] It seems to me that AFS doesn't support hard links between different directories. > [[done]] per comments --[[Joey]]
