Ok. Thank you.Correct, except for #2. You are not mounting /home on sda5 but moving the data to that partition. /home is a directory in this case and will share space with the OS and such.So let me just see if I follow:
1. Leave root (/) partition as is on sda5
2. Mount /home on same disk as ( / ) as well (I would have to shrink sda5 to allow for the new partition, correct? How much?
3. Use sda5 (/) as Greyhole LZ
4. Mnt sdb1 as hdd1 (do I need to format or clean the partition structure)
5. Finally from what I understand...after both disks are pooled in Greyhole the process works as follows:
a. Add file to /var/hda/files/<share>
b. file will be downloaded/copied/transferred to LZ on root
c. once that operation completes, the file is cp'd to location within diskpool observing #of copies in greyhole.conf
d. finally, once that is complete, new copies are symlinked to /var/hda/files/<share>
Not sure if doing all this won't break your HDA. It's best to follow the guidance we provide, especially when it comes to disconnecting all but one drive. Keeps things simple and less hassle in the long run.
Since the install is fresh, and mostly I have been just toying with configurations and not writing much data...if it breaks, I will just go with a "one" disk clean install and start all over. I will update if anything goes awry.
