seeing what's in the attic before dumping the contents

[rcrh]

I'm in the midst of rebuilding my Amahi server. I've just finished adding all of my drives and was doing some final clean up. This involved deleting some files that I no longer require. After the delete I thought I would clean out the attic by running GREYHOLE -A. But, before doing that I ran
GREYHOLE -s and was surprised by the size of the attic (I was expecting about 330gig but had 1.5tb). So, I thought I better have a look first.

In my previous build I was able to establish a share that pointed to the attic. But, now I can't remember how to do that and I can't find any info in the forums. I don't think I imaged it so I'm hoping someone can help.

Thanks.

Be sure to restart the samba and greyhole service after you setup the Greyhole Attic (case sensitive) share and enable it to use the pool.

There is also a link in the wiki about setting up the attic.

Thanks for this but I tried creating the share per the first article and then completely restarted my server. When I went to the share it was empty even though GREYHOLE -s shows 1.5tb of files.

OK, now that I've reread the revxatlarge post AGAIN I see that it says

it will create symlinks to all files deleted after the share is created -- older files in the Attic (Trash) must be accessed via the paths above

So, I'll follow the rest of the instructs to look at the other contents.

Thanks for your help.
