I've added 3 HD and followed the wiki
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_ ... o_your_HDA
to add those 3 HDto the greyhole storage pool. I also had each share use the storage pool:
Now while transferring a large amount of data to a locally mounted share, Amahi tells me I'm running out of space. Based on the error message, I've determined that Amahi is somehow saving to the OS drive (which isn't part of the pool).

Odd behavior. You are sure the root partition is not part of the storage pool? Since this is question related to greyhole, suggest you post in that topic area. The author might be able to help.
To correct the problem immediately, you will need to boot your HDA using a live CD for any distro. Then navigate to the drive in question and manually remove some files. Once done, reboot to your HDA and it should be working again.

I think I figure it out that the transfer is happening faster than greyhole can move files around and the landing zone is on a smaller drive that cannot store all that data at once. So after another install I set my /var/hda/files to be on a large drive and also did not start greyhole disk pooling until after the large transfer took place. It seems to be working now, even though I still have to figure out if greyhole did its job properly...
