Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

Would you mind adding it to the wiki? We would greatly appreciate it. [ Post made via Android ] http://forums.amahi.org/images/mobile/Android.png I've requested an account, waiting on approval. I would also like to add a note that the folder specified in the greyhole.conf (ie: /gh) for the pool nee...

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

Yes we know about the version issue. Hope to correct it in the next version. Is that something worthy of documenting in the wiki? [ Post made via Android ] http://forums.amahi.org/images/mobile/Android.png I would think so -- if for no other reason it gives everybody a 5% bigger storage pool. It se...

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

Amahi 7 is using 0.9.49 and there are no real mods. We disable the Greyhole phone home and not sure if there is anything else. You can only use Amahi provided versions. This should be the latest version available. [ Post made via Android ] http://forums.amahi.org/images/mobile/Android.png this is w...

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

If you suspect a bug with Greyhole, report it on the authors Web site. I will. I had a question that got lost in my posting above -- what version of Greyhole is Amahi using, and what modifications are done to it? Or are there no mods right now? Can i pull a copy from Greyhole, or do I need to get i...

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

Also, Greyhole seems not to be using all of my drive (i've tried the conf with both 5gb and 10gb it doesn't change) Storage Pool Total - Used = Free + Trash = Possible /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/gh: 1834G - 1700G = 40G + 0G = 40G /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh: 1834G - 1701G = 40G + 0G = 40G /var...

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

yah, we'll see -- it looks to be fast enough once everything is balanced out.

Another question -- Greyhole doesn't report the version #, it states something like %version% at the top of commands. Does Greyhole get modifed for Amahi? How can i update it/reinstall the correct version?

Re: Stop a drive being written to - because it's failing

I've always been fond of 'Beyond Compare'. It's a pretty good tool. But would have to be on the windows side of things ... it wouldn't be able to check between files on different drives in the pool

Re: Stop a drive being written to - because it's failing

i would stop the service and pull the drive ASAP. I've never had a drive stay partially failed for long, and you could lose the whole thing. I wouldn't rely on it one bit.

Re: There is not enough space on movies. You need an additio

Did you get this working?

In answer to your earlier question, yes, you can shrink your pool, use one of your drives as a LZ, copy everything to it, and once it's all done move your LZ back and re add the drive to your pool. I'm in the middle of doing exactly that.

Re: Greyhole working -- not shown in GUI

There are other command options you can use to force scan to fix symlinks and such. Just enter greyhole and it will show you all the available options/switches you can use. Next issue: greyhole transfers are dreadfully slow. I think this might be why even with a ~45GB LZ I was having issues. Is thi...
