Basic questions - New drives & Greyhole setup under Amahi 7

Postby whaites » Mon Sep 02, 2013 7:16 am

I'm trying to set up a new Amahi 7 system. I have a small drive that is just for the system - this was the only disk present for the amahi install. I have 3 new 1 & 2 TB drives for my storage pools, and I added them to the system following the short guide: https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding ... o_your_HDA

This guide had me set my drive folders to: /var/hda/drives/ (drive1, drive2, drive3); however, in the long guide and most other places, it seems the location is: /var/hda/files/drives/. Will it make things easier for me set my drives to the files folder?

Greyhole config question: I'm not sure what to set for storage_pool_drive.
This is the config example: storage_pool_drive = /mnt/drive1/gh, min_free: 10gb

I'm not sure what my storage_pool_drive should be. /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /var/hda/drives/drive1 ? Do I create a /gh directory or does greyhole create this?

Thanks!

What the script did is the correct location. The wiki may need some updating to eliminate any confusion. Each drive has to have it's own folder to work.

Greyhole will create the folders automatically. Recommed you check out the Greyhole page in the wiki. Your storage pool drives will be the mount points as you listed above, /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 etc.
