Re: Read before posting: Greyhole troubleshooting

Myself, I now use a better version of the commands in the wiki, packaged as an easy to run shell script. See https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/wiki/GetHelp It should work on all Linux variations, including all Amahi versions. (But might require some changes, if Amahi still use the hda-greyhole p...

Re: Greyhole won't start after Amahi re-install

If you feel re-installing greyhole is safe, please direct me to some documentation explaining how to do this manually. Our wiki simply covers it's use, :? unless I've overlooked something. I don't want to make things worse because I don't have the space to move my data elsewhere before I make any m...

Re: Came back from vacation and my HDA is flaking...

You're out of inodes. That means you have a lot of small files somewhere. Use "df -i" to monitor inodes usage. You can probably find recipes around the web on how to locate the small files that are causing your issues. Example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/347620/where-are-all-my-ino...

Re: Deleted files on shares going to ".Trash-1000"?

Greyhole acts as expected in the case you detailed. When you deleted the file in Nautilus, instead of really deleting the file, it chose to move it to a trash folder. Greyhole correctly logged the operations Nautilus did when that happened, and correctly handled them. From what I know of Nautilus, t...

Re: My drives are not pooling.

The idea behind Greyhole is to have all your shares on 1 drive, and use the others in the pool for redundency. Not. Greyhole can pool as many drives as you'd like, and give you one big share, with or without redundancy. If you don't want redundancy, you just specify Extra copies = 0 (- I think in t...

Re: what is the best way to acces the shares from Windows?

Using a Terminal on the HDA, logged in as "jochen", do this: ls -la /var/hda/files/Pictures touch /var/hda/files/Pictures/test rm /var/hda/files/Pictures/test If the last 2 commands work, your permissions are fine. Did you try to copy a new file in the root of the Pictures share, remotely ...

Re: what is the best way to acces the shares from Windows?

[...] again I am not allowed [...] You're previous problem (above) was with Greyhole not showing all your files, because of a permission problem in the gh folder. I don't remember you ever mentioning you had issues where you were not allowed to copy files somewhere..? Plus, continuing a thread give...

Re: Its all a big mess. Challenge accepted!

I don't have time to read 3 pages worth of long posts, and lrevxl is already helping you, and being a Greyhole developer, he should know what's he talking about. But I'll say only a couple of things... 1. Make sure you're running the latest version of greyhole. That would be 0.9.9. You can check wit...

Re: system hard drive failure or pool hard drive failure

Yes.
And if you selected to keep 1+ extra copies of your files (in the Shares configuration page), then you won't loose any data.

Re: what is the best way to acces the shares from Windows?

The very last line of the --debug output show that a user named 'brenda' owns the file copies, while all directories (inside the gh folder) are owned by jochen. What user are you using to connect to the shares, remotely ? Try those commands, as root, on the HDA (either using SSH or VNC): chown -R jo...
