I'm trying to add a faster disk as landing zone and at the same time move LZ away from OS disk. But I'm having trouble understanding the procedure and need to have it explained as if I was had no idea whats going on (I don't have any idea of whats going on).
My main concern is the two steps I've marked with bold.
Procedure
· (This step is optional) First, you might want to wait until the Greyhole is done working on the latest changes. You can check that by looking at /var/log/greyhole.log: look for Sleeping...
log lines. Doing so will speed up the whole process of moving your LZ.
· Stop the Samba service. (If you're using Amahi, you'll want to turn off the Watchdog option in the Setup > Advanced > Servers page, and then stop the service.)
· Stop the Greyhole service. (If you're using Amahi, you'll want to turn off the Watchdog option in the Setup > Advanced > Servers page, and then stop the service.)
· Move the LZ from it's old path to the new path. You can do so using the file browser in X, or using the command line (eg. mv /var/hda/files/videos /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/videos)
Make sure the permission of the new directory is correct, especially if you created empty directory manually instead of moving old one. (eg. chmod 775 /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/videos)
· Edit the share path (Location on Amahi) to reflect the new path.
· Repeat the last two steps for all the shares you'd like to relocate.
· Restart the Greyhole service. (If you're using Amahi, you'll want to turn back on the Watchdog option in the Setup > Advanced > Servers page, and then start the service.)
· Restart the Samba service. (If you're using Amahi, you'll want to turn back on the Watchdog option in the Setup > Advanced > Servers page, and then start the service.)
· For good measure, you should run greyhole --fsck. While it shouldn't be required if you correctly moved the content of the old LZ into the new LZ, it won't hurt to check!
Do I add my new disk as eg. /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 and move /var/hda/files/*(all shares - including transmission torrent DL folder and Greyhole Recycle Bin) to this new mount, or how am I supposed to understand it?Move the LZ from it's old path to the new path. You can do so using the file browser in X, or using the command line (eg. mv /var/hda/files/videos /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/videos)
How do i do that? Where do i do that?Edit the share path (Location on Amahi) to reflect the new path.
I'm so freaked out that I'm considering reinstalling Amahi

It all seems so simple now... And thanks a million for Greyhole! It is probably my favourite piece of software since Tetris!
