Rebalancing?

Postby bdaz » Wed Apr 17, 2013 8:17 pm

Hello -

I just added a 4th drive to my Greyhole storage pool - a new 3TB drive.

Here's my problem: I just tried copying a file over to one of my fileshares, and it prompted me with an out of disk space error. Checking the storage pools, I have 97% free space on my new 3TB drive still, and my landing zone has >60GB free, so there's plenty of space for the 6GB virtual HD image I was trying to copy in both the pool and the LZ.

Can someone tell me if there's a way to run a "rebalance" against GH so that it spreads all files more evenly across all drives, accounting for the new drive as well?

Thanks for your help/guidance.

You may want to check out this wiki guidance on 3TB drives.
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Partitions_Over_2.1_TB

Also, the Greyhole balance command is:

Code: Select all

greyhole -l
Commands can be found in the wiki or by doing:

Code: Select all

Perfect, thanks!
Now I need to look into the appropriate place to script this so it runs nightly (or at least weekly). And I do apologise, while technical, I'm brushing off my linux skills after a few years and much has changed!

Thanks again... this is a great community.
