Re: System Drive Crashed, Now what....

First off, a word of advice. Everyone... backup your /etc/fstab, /etc/greyhole.conf and your /etc/samba/samb...

Re: System Drive Crashed, Now what....

Thanks BigFoot. I think what is confusing me is that I had a separate disk that contained the LZ. Before I had: 700 GB mounted at /var/hda/files. If I remember correctly, for this drive, I had some shares in the greyhole pool, while other (/temp /junk for example) where not. Unfortunately, I did not...

Re: System Drive Crashed, Now what....

Well, I am still down. I am trying to mine this for the "simple" list of what to do when your OS disk crashes. As I am so nervous about losing my data, I am still unclear exactly what to do and I last installed Amahi about 2 years ago, so I am having to learn some of this all over again. I...

SOLVED: System Drive Crashed, Now what....

Hi Amahi Community. So, my server won't boot up anymore. I get errors about can't read sectors and it goes to the grub rescue prompt. I set my root to hd0,1 and try an ls command and the I get bad sectors error again. I am guessing the drive is bad. So, basically I had a 40GB drive with the OSS and ...

Re: Why are the Greyhole drives mounted in the LZ by default

Thanks much. I guess I have now changed my mind and I will keep the drives in the files directory, now that I understand it. Thanks again.

Re: Why are the Greyhole drives mounted in the LZ by default

Thanks BigFoot. I very much appreciate the response. I have used the wiki, this forum and google. Many hours in fact over several days. And, I am going to use them a lot more. :-) Anyway, I don't really understand your response. The questions is not "Where should the LZ be mounted?", but &...

Why are the Greyhole drives mounted in the LZ by default?

Hi Folks. First Post. Just got my Amahi system up and running (and all seems well), but I have not setup Greyhole yet. I currently have a 40GB drive as my system drives with all the typical partitions, a 700 GB drive mounted at /var/hda/files as the landing zone and two 3TB drives that I will use fo...
