SOLVED: Add External Hard Drive to HDA

[caizizuofang]

Your suggestion for the sabnzbd reset works and now the whole thing is reinstalled from scratch.

I want to give up with the migration to external hard drive by changing share. But I'm wondering if I deploy greyhole is that possible to pool all of storage even the external hard drive? So to speak, I don't need deal with the hassle like permission reset, app reconfig, etc.. What I want now maybe is simpler, just to put all storage together and still use current share configuration. Thanks.

Great. Glad it worked.

Yes you could pool all the drives together and use Greyhole. I would recommend you purchase the Greyhole UI if you have not yet.

It makes configuration so much easier.

About to purchase it. Hopefully this would be last question... Currenly all my shares are set to /var/hda/files/drives/ehd1/share. Should I change them back to /var/hda/files/share before I install the greyhole?

[bigfoot65]

I would recommend putting them back. Need to make sure you move the folders/data back as well. Once you install Greyhole and configure it for number of copies, many of the files will become symbolic links to the appropriate drive where it resides in the drive pool.

Does that make sense?

[caizizuofang]

Pretty understandable. Just this

configure it for number of copies

This number of copies are meant to create redundant backups for existing shares?

[bigfoot65]

Yes that is correct.

Ok. Installed. I saw three tab underneath of Drive Pooling (Partitions/Shares/Status) but my dashboard only list Partition tab. Does this indicate my installation failure?
