I was wondering how the system decides when to rebalance.
setup:
(Pooled) (Location) (Total space) (Free space) (%)
not pooled: / 18.3 GB 15.6 GB 85%
pooled (then depooled) /var/hda/files 437.2 GB 129.1 GB 30%
pool /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 1.8 TB 1.8 TB 99%
pool /var/hda/files/drives/drive2 1.8 TB 1.8 TB 99%
pool /var/hda/files/drives/drive3 458.5 GB 458.3 GB 100%
I have 4 drives: the root and the LZ are on one 500gb drive in separate partitions. The other three drives are a 2tb, 2tb and 500gb (drive 1,2,3). Initially the LZ was pooled. As I add files it just keeps filling up, but not moving files out to rebalance across the drives. I tried "greyhole -l" but that didn't work. I then took the LZ out of the pool and let it run friday and saturday and sunday after a greyhole -l command, but nothing changed. When should I expect files to move out of the LZ? I'm sure as a linux newbie I messed something up. I'm about to start moving some videos over and they are 30GB each, so when I see space is starting to get limited in the LZ, I wonder when the files get moved out.
other info: I normally keep this server powered off and use it as a backup for files on my main server.
any thoughts?
thanks

Re: another greyhole question
What version of Greyhole? Also did you run greyhole -f as well?

Re: another greyhole question
I am on version 0.9.22
I went ahead and ran greyhole -f .... I'll also let it sit running overnight. I just moved another large folder over so now the LZ is
/var/hda/files 437.2 GB 75.5 GB 17%

Re: another greyhole question
You might consider upgrading Greyhole to the latest version. It fixes some issues that might be part of the cause for your troubles.

Re: another greyhole question
I did the update then realized I'm apparently on the latest version. I'm on Ubuntu not Fedora (prolly should have mentioned that).
Re: another greyhole question
overnight .. no change. The LZ is even more full after my large folder move yesterday in the evening.
LZ is now looking like: /var/hda/files 437.2 GB total 75.5 GB free 17% free
LZ is now looking like: /var/hda/files 437.2 GB total 75.5 GB free 17% free
Re: another greyhole question
So you are on 0.9.31? The LZ is not part of the storage pool is it? Might check the Greyhole log file too at /var/log directory.

Re: another greyhole question
I'm glad you asked about the version, since option 1, using the repository just kept me at 0.9.22. So, I thought that was the latest. I've manually updated to 0.9.31.
Then I ran -l anf -f, but nothing. I verified the shares were allocated to the pool and then ran greyhole -S. I got this:
Jun 22 11:25:54 2 stats: Config file parsing failed. Exiting.
Jun 22 11:26:19 4 view-queue: You have no storage_pool_drive defined. Greyhole can't run.
Jun 22 11:26:19 2 view-queue: Config file parsing failed. Exiting.
Jun 22 11:27:39 4 daemon: You have no storage_pool_drive defined. Greyhole can't run.
Jun 22 11:28:35 4 fsck: You have no storage_pool_drive defined. Greyhole can't run.
Jun 22 11:28:35 2 fsck: Config file parsing failed. Exiting.
Jun 22 11:28:43 4 balance: You have no storage_pool_drive defined. Greyhole can't run.
Jun 22 11:28:43 2 balance: Config file parsing failed. Exiting.
Jun 22 11:30:07 4 logs: You have no storage_pool_drive defined. Greyhole can't run.
Jun 22 11:30:07 2 logs: Config file parsing failed. Exiting.
So then I toggled the box allocating each drive to the pool went to each share, clicked the path, then resaved. I believe this updates the greyhole.conf file. Then I reran with -f and -l. Then the occasional -S. It is now moving some large files. When it finishes up, I'll post an update.
Last question while I let this thing run. Is there any plus or minus to having the LZ in the pool. I recall a fellow doing what I did (have to lookup the post, since it had been awhile) and he had no issues. Basically I'm just seeking your opinion of putting the LZ in the pool or not. As you see above, the LZ and root are on separate partitions. I do know not to put the root in the pool.
thank you for the help. I think you have me moving in the right track.

Re: another greyhole question
Glad that helped. As for the LZ in the pool, I would say it's a bad idea in most cases. Depends on how big the LZ is and how many files you are storing and moving.
I do not include the LZ in my pool. Most of the time the LZ and root are the same drive.

Re: another greyhole question
Looks like the pool is working (well, at least when I force it to balance). Since it thought the pool didn't exist, perhaps it'll handle the movement automatically for now on. The latest readings (I've been backing up so the space used doesn't match up):
/ 18.3 GB 15.6 GB 85%
/var/hda/files 437.2 GB 432 GB 99% (and shrinking as I type this)
/var/hda/files/drives/drive1 1.8 TB 1.6 TB 89%
/var/hda/files/drives/drive2 1.8 TB 1.6 TB 89%
/var/hda/files/drives/drive3 458.5 GB 458.3 GB 100%
thanks again
have a good weekend.
