I read the wiki on adding a 2nd hard drive and i did the same thing for the other 2 drives. they all show up as the same path and in the pooling section i can't check the box for the 3rd and 4th ones. Any ideas on where i went wrong here?

Also how can I upgrade a HD after there is info on it. How do I pull it out of the pooling and put another one in it's place.

No idea what you did wrong. Additional drives should get mounted as /var/hda/files/drives/drive#, with incrementing # for each drive mounted.
What does this display?

Code: Select all

mount; fdisk -l; df -h
To remove a drive, from the terminal: greyhole --going=/var/hda/files/drives/driveX/gh
Wait for that command to tell you it's done, then remove that drive from /etc/fstab, and them from the computer, and replace it.
