Its all a big mess. Pending testing

[Vertigo500]

As far as i can tell much of my problems probably comes from the full HDD, disk 7. It contains landing zones and is part of the pool, and is failing. Not a good combination.

Also my queue is moving very slowly, possibly because of said full drive.

I did forget to mention that disk 7, it says its full, but i have deleted hundreds of Gb, several weeks ago, but since the queue is not working, it never gets deleted. At least thats what i am thinking.

I now have installed the new drive, and that can help matters. If only i had acces to my HDA dash, wich i broke yesterday. I read about a possible solution to my network problems, and i stopped the DHCP server. I cant get it started again, possibly because of my old non-existent network card, and the new network card, i dont know. http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 503#p15503

The logical solution would be to solve the network problems first, and then the rest. But that is not easy, and its making me crazy that i have a failing drive. So therefore i should just reinstall amahi, but then i have to add the drives juuuust right, since my landing zones and queue are full, and i dont know if i am up to that.

I should add the new drive to the pool, and make all shares have at least one extra copy, and get the queue started. Dont know if thats possible, but if i did i could reinstall amahi easyer, is that right?

If only i did not stop the DHCP server yesterday, what have i done?

I have a feeling that the most important thing is to get the queue started again, and let it finish the job. For that i think i need an update of Greyhole and Samba. Or do i need to clear some space? I can delete some big movies, but i already tried that, the normal way, via the network, and it seems to me that just added to the queue. Should i delete some files a more "dangerous" or direct way?

I have uploaded the log

I'm not very familiar with Amahi, so I can't offer any help with questions about it. I use Greyhole with regular Fedora. I'll take a look over the log and let you know what I find.

So far this is looking very promising. After the PM i got i got it going.

The queue is being worked on, and is still growing after several days, but it is going very fast, and not at a pace of 5 tasks per day, but many tasks per second. I also somehow got the network and dashboard working, and i will report back when the queue is finished.

Thank you very much for the help so far, i am very happy about this.

Glad to hear it.

Just to loop things around for anyone else that happens to read this thread, I sent a PM to Vertigo500 and instructed him to remove all tombstones. (i.e. for each graveyard `rm -r /path/to/pool/drive/gh/.gh_graveyard/*` -- and the backup graveyards as well!) and then run an fsck with find orphaned files on (i.e. greyhole --fsck -o). His problem appeared to be tombstones that had gotten in an inconsistent (pending) state somehow and were not getting processed. The above recreates all tombstones from scratch.

This will take some time, the queue is still growing, 606 000 operations and 1 261 000 spooled.

I am running out of space, and i have tried to mount the Greyhole Trash as described elsewhere, so i have more control over deleted files. When i delete a file is it supposed to show up in the share instantly, or does the fsck have to do its job? I am asking because the queue will not finish for several days at least.

Here is my greyhole config: http://pastebin.com/jg4L6PJJ

And my smb: http://pastebin.com/kwAM3G7g

Any tips?

I thought you had seen the queue going down. Now it's growing? What exactly are you storing on the pool that is pushing through so many file operations?

[Vertigo500]

Its mostly pictures and movies. I have had this happening once before: http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2830. It took a long time to resolve all tasks.

One of the "problems" i am having now, is that for several hours now, the "tail" is racing with tasks, but keep saying "moore than 90 000 queued, wont queue any more at this time", so its not very effective.

When i deleted the tombstones, i got a lot of files missing, but many of them have turned up again during the fsck, and they keep showing up. Was this expected?

[lrevxl]

Yes, the files will show back up as the fsck rediscovers them. Once the fsck is done all the files should be back. Is this same fsck that you started a few days ago still running?

Yes it is.
