Re: Separate BIG LZ partition in or out of pool?

The transfer would not significantly speed up by adding your LZ drive to the storage pool, even if your LZ happens to have the most amount of freespace, when Greyhole transfers a file from the LZ to a pool drive it's performing an rsync which copies the file, not a file move. (A file move from one d...

Re: GreyholeNeeds Password

Greyhole doesn't need a password, mysql needs a password, take a look at section 2 of the USAGE readme. https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/blob/master/USAGE

Re: gh/Graveyard

Take a look at the amahi wiki, there's a link to an article I wrote up which explains what tombstones, graveyards, and attics are.

Re: Greyhole trying to rename tombstones over and over - stu

You could uninstall the old version or force install the new version, but since you're on Amahi I don't think it's recommended (see http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2981&sid=cdbee06d6db2fc3ed1462196a1cfd292) I only work with Greyhole, I don't use or know about Amahi, so I'm not m...

Re: Greyhole trying to rename tombstones over and over - stu

This was a nasty bug that was fixed in Greyhole 0.9.6+, you can see the issue on the Greyhole project page https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/issues/12 It isn't infinite, but it is exponential, if you leave it long enough the renames should eventually finish, but it'll call the same renames many,...

Re: Extra copies?

Your best bet for replacing a drive is the following: Add the new drive to your server Mount it Add it to greyhole Perform a --going on the drive you want to remove Run an fsck Doing the above causes Greyhole to recreate any copies stored on the the drive that's going away on the the other pool volu...

Re: Extra copies?

That is what the extra file copies does. The data that's missing is missing because the linked copy was on the drive that you removed. When Greyhole sees a drive missing it schedules an fsck so it should end up: 1) recreating the missing copy and 2) linking to a valid copy of the files that were on ...

Re: Greyhole won't let me delete stuff?

Those details make it a different question, probably something best included with your original question, the more information you can provide, the better. Speaking of which, more information is needed here. When you say you're deleting these files via finder in OSX, what exactly do you mean? Are yo...

Re: FSCK keeps hitting locked files

Always do a search:

Specifically look at the part about running an lsof on the files in question, because most likely something does actually have them open.
