Amahi Forums

Hi,
I need major help with this issue.. i've just recently installed amahi 7 and im getting an error msg stating that.

There is not enough space on movies. You need an additional 1.27 Gig to copy these files. I still have 1.5tb of free space to share. As of right now i only have one hd that i'm working with and i couldn't find anything in the wikki that would help. My dashboard doesn't have some of the features under sharing that is talked about in the wikki. I ask for anytime of help as i'm getting desperate with 2 days of work lost

Best thing to do here is move less at one time, then let Greyhole do it's stuff. When you are limited on disk space, you can't throw it all on at once.

Not sure what you are referring to in the wiki. If you can give details, I might be able to help. Keep in mind the wiki stipulates Amahi 6 vs Amahi 7 for most things, but not all.

Greyhole uses a landing zone, which is by default on the same drive as your OS. If you used a small drive for your OS, then your landing zone will be small. Even if your share is 1.5TB, you cannot have more "new data" than your landing zone can hold.

If you use , you can force Greyhole to move the files off of the landing zone, thus clearing up that space for use.

I want to thank you guys for taking the time to write back.. but i believe i have a bigger issue. I keep reading about greyhole and how it stores the files before writing them out to the rest of the disk space. I would like to know if it's possible for me to just use one hd at the moment? I currently have only one 2tb drive that i've installed amahi on, and its also the only drive in my media server at the moment. I'm trying to just learn the system before adding more disk space. i've tried to run the following commands with no luck:
/var/log/greyhole.log -permissions denied when running as root
Im trying to see if greyhole is even installed in my system..(almost all greyhole commands have not worked for me)

That would be: If you did not install it, it's not configured or complete installed. Here is the guidance:

Hi,
I ran what you told me but got no response (sudo greyhole --fsck) I also tried to run (/var/log/greyhole.log) but got a permissions denied, i'm trying to see what greyhole is doing on my pc. Following the steps on this page https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Moving_landing_zone

Do commands as root user and don't use sudo.

See my previous post about configuring Greyhole if you have not set it up. That also would indicate your issue is not Greyhole related,

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? thanks again for your assistance in advance

Ok, so you have already installed it based on your results. Make sure it's running by doing: Then do: BTW, there is some basic Linux skills required to do this sort of set up. That's why we put the warning about this being for advanced users at the top of some wiki pages. For example, configure greyhole.conf is not a command. It would be: Recommend you check the internet for some help on using command line.

Did you get this working?

In answer to your earlier question, yes, you can shrink your pool, use one of your drives as a LZ, copy everything to it, and once it's all done move your LZ back and re add the drive to your pool. I'm in the middle of doing exactly that.
