Re: Deleting symlinks from Samba share does not delete file

There has been an odd development here. I stepped away from this for a couple of days to take care of some other things. Well, I glance in my TV share and notice a couple of the zombie folders are actually still gone. This was great news, but baffling. My first assumption was that the --fsck was sti...

Re: Deleting symlinks from Samba share does not delete file

I appreciate the help. I modified the files through a windows share. The renaming went well, and the files deleted as you would expect, at least on the surface. When checking the attic however, either via the greyhole attic share or using greyhole -a, none are shown. Interestingly, the attic in gene...

Be sure to restart the samba and greyhole service after you setup the Greyhole Attic (case sensitive) share and enable it to use the pool.

Re: Deleting symlinks from Samba share does not delete file

No dice. I disabled both the samba service and greyhole, and went into each individual drive,as listed in my storage pool. I then deleted each folder, some of which should only have been populated 2 times but were on all 4 drives. I restarted the services, --fsck, and sadly had the same result. I ha...

Re: Deleting symlinks from Samba share does not delete file

Progress so far: It turns out the Greyhole attic share was not actually working correctly, as restarting the samba service from inside the Amahi web interface was apparently not actually restarting the service on the server itself. I used VNC to login to the machine and reset it manually. This got t...

Deleting symlinks from Samba share does not delete file

I've recently run into an interesting problem. While deploying a new media center, I realized that some of my shows were misnamed, causing the TV scarper to fail. In order to combat this, I went though and renamed the offending shows via the samba share they are in, and moved the media files into th...
