Clarity of Greyhole Concept

Hi

After referencing how to add a second hard drive in the wiki I am struggling with the following.
I have 4 hard drives. My first drive is 160GB and holds the / partition, I then want to add 3 X 1TB hard drives that will contain the greyhole storage pool. I am now stuck when it cames to editing the /etc/fstab files with the right parameters.

In the wiki it mentions that I must add the following line
UUID=cb30f029-21c8-41ed-a70e-159393c4cbeb /var/hda/files ext4 defaults 1 2

and then later it says I must add the line like so
UUID=cb30f029-21c8-41ed-a70e-159393c4cbeb /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 2

I don't necessarily want to use the first hard drive in the storage pool or for any shares as i may wish to upgrade the system drive in future.

What would be the best practise in my case?

Use the second line above.

The first one is in the case where you'd want your new hard drive to include all your shares, and when you're not using Greyhole.

OK thanks

I misunderstood that there is a fundamental difference between a Amahi share and a Greyhole share.
