Re: Disk failed, now have a major problem I need help with

Hi, Did you tell greyhole that your drive was gone for good? -g, --gone[=path] Tell Greyhole that the missing drive at <path> is gone for good. Greyhole will start replacing the missing file copies instantly. If you don't supply an option, the available options (paths) will be displayed. Not sure if...

Re: Greyhole Not Balancing + SMB Shares Not Visible

I had the same issue. The problem was that during the update it never updated the symlinks for libraries. Just use the -force trigger when you run the greyhole update: rpm -Uvh --force http://www.greyhole.net/releases/hda-greyhole-0.9.10-1.`uname -i`.rpm Update: Noticed there's a wiki page about thi...

Re: Moving a drive to external case, can I keep in Greyhole?

Agree with bigmango, In theory the drive should still have the same UUID, but if for whatever reason it would change, just update /etc/fstab with the new UUID and the same mount point. Of course I cannot promise this will work. However, since the drives (with their unique UUID) are defined in /etc/f...

Re: How to re-purpose drives

May I ask why you want to do this? If you add all three drives onto your Greyhole storage pool you get 6 TB of data store. Then per share you enable extra copies if you need redundancy. If your goal is to use 3x2TB drives as RAID1 (mirrored) with one hot spare, you will only be able to use total 2TB...

Re: Install partitioning with Greyhole in mind.

Hi dalben, When installing Fedora with Amahi you need to consider how the disks should be used. Ok, you have 1x 500gb drive. 4x2tb drives. Now, the 4x2tb drives will be used as greyhole storage pool. Additionally you need a "Landing Zone", this is where your files initially "lands&quo...
