pools

[kcossabo]

I have a simple install

150G drive that I installed F14 on then Amahi

I seem to have built this way
/ = 50G
/home = 82G

I then added 3 drives, 500G, 1TB and 2TB, and did all the work to get them into a 'pool'

I see them in the Storage TAB, and I can now select 'Storage pool' when creating or editing a share.

When I create a Share it wants to put the path onto /var/hda/files/......

Shares that have pools indicated, show up in OSX as having free space equivalent to the size of the pool, Shares that do not use the pool, show as having size of the /home

QUESTION:
Does this mean that I am limited to the space available on the hda (/home) even though I have a pool? I assumed that the pool would put files where there was room, thus keeping the available space to the size of the pool (minus any file duplication).

This might be my issue?

At any given time the drive holding the share can not exceed the files being copied until GreyHole moves the files to the pool?

Nope, it seems that the / drive is consumed even though the share is a pool?

So with this, the 3TB pool can never have any (single) data store over 50G (with my setup having 50G as /)

I created a share TimePro, put 1 pool replica, moved 4TB to the share and I depleted / by 4TB.

Nope, this is an issue. I tried to copy a 179G file, and it died at 42G.
