SOLVED: Out of space in "shares"-lots of free space on drive

[Poser]

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>

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.

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.

Ok. Thank you.

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.

EDIT: i just cp -rpH to /old_home/user, commented out fstab mount for home, rebooted and moved back to /home/user

so far so good.

Good to hear about the move of /home. As for Greyhole, did you follow the wiki guidance for configuring it or are you using the Greyhole UI?

Thank you.

Let us know what the error is that prevents Greyhole from starting. You stated you followed manual Greyhole setup. Is it possible you missed a step?

Try this for reinstalling:

Code: Select all

yum reinstall amahi-greyhole

Also the database has to be dropped before you can recreate it. See hda-create-db-and-user utility script for details.

Code: Select all

hda-create-db-and-user -d greyhole

Hope this helps.
