Re: Unable to boot HDA

You'll probably need to delete the greyhole database, and re-create it. The following should do it: mysql -u root -phda -e 'drop database greyhole' mysql -u root -phda -e 'create database greyhole' mysql -u root -phda -e "grant all on greyhole.* to greyhole@'localhost' identified by 'greyhole'&...

Re: Greyhole behind the scenes

The sticky_files option will probably get you where you want to be. What you want is to define sticky_files for all your shares, with stick_into value that will point to your internal drives. The downside of this is that the same drive will always be used first for the files of a specific share. i.e...

Re: Moving Landing Zone, please help

Now my question is... when I copy files to my /movies folder, they are physically going on to my drive4. When Drive4 fills up, won't I encounter the same problem with having an insufficient landing zone? drive4 won't fill up until all other drives fill up too, since Greyhole balance free space of a...

Re: Moving Landing Zone, please help

Problem stopping the smb service: you'll need to ask about that in another forum, or on IRC. This is more a general Amahi thing that is not Greyhole-related. Two drives, one partition: you mean you used LVM to merge both drives into one ? You shouldn't do that if you use Greyhole. LVM and Greyhole a...

Let me know if something is not clear, if a page I mention is somewhere else (I've document the Amahi pages from memory), or if I missed a step.

Re: Moving Landing Zone, please help

I'll document exactly how to do this on the Amahi wiki tonight. I'll post a link when I'm done.

Re: Cross Post - Pooling

The location of shares doesn't affect the space it has. So /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/docs can contian 4TB of files. In fact, /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/docs will only contain symlinks to the real files, and thus will be very small. The files themselves will be in both drives you include in the ...

Re: Cross Post - Pooling

See homepage of http://www.greyhole.net for some info on how Greyhole works. Also: http://code.google.com/p/greyhole/wiki/HowGreyholeWorks There is no need for LVM. If you can start over without that, you'll get back some free space. Myself, I have: 20 GB / partition (standard /boot and swap partiti...

Re: /var/hda/files full-cant write to shares(landing zone fu

How did you copy the files into your shares ? If the landing zone is still full, and Greyhole says it has nothing to do, it's probably because you added files in /var/hda/files/share_name without using Samba. Or because those files are in the Viglen or Kamera shares, which to no use the storage pool...

Re: Greyhole log file.

logrotate doesn't handle the current (day) log file, so it can't prevent a single day log from becoming too large. It handle pasts log files. It's configured to keep the latest 7 log files, and compress them, for Greyhole logs. To know why the log file had become this large, we'd have to know what i...
