Total noob thing, Backup stops Greyhole Server

[bbuzzard]

I'm totally new to Linux and Amahi, but I'm starting to get it...somewhat.

I set up Amahi with sdb1, sdc1 and sdd1 in a greyhole pool. The dashboard says its running and I've seen it balance, but every time I run a backup (currently trying Shadowprotect Desktop), the greyhole server stops. Should I expect this, or did I screw something up (99% most likely)? I have the backup share in pool.

Sorry about the lack of system details, but I'm so new with linux and Amahi, I don't even know what info might be required...But I can find out if I knew what to look for.


Thanks!

Open a terminal (as root) on your HDA, and type this:

Code: Select all

service greyhole restart; tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log

It should say it's sleeping, every 10 seconds.
If it seems to be working, wait until it starts sleeping.

Then launch a backup.
You should see an error of some sort in your open terminal window, that should tell you why Greyhole stops.

Thanks, I'll give it a try tonight. I'm betting that it is still running, I'm just misreading it.

Hey, I looked at the log, and I noticed the "can't copy locked file.......syntax error" was there. I applied the fix you spelled out in a previous "greyhole issues" post, and all seems well now. I survived a backup with greyhole intact.

Thanks for your help. Greyhole was the main reason I chose Amahi, and now that it's doing well, I'm learning about the rest of the cool stuff in there.
