The scheme you want to use looks like a good choice. As for the LZ, you mount the 200GB drive as /var/hda/files. The adding a second hard drive to your HDA article will provide some guidance.

If you don't intend to use the /home partition for storing any files, it's probably ok. Most use the shares for files. Other wise if you need it larger, a reinstall is best.

there is also a share called <username> under /home/<username> for every user and it is only accessible for that specific user. If you want to use these shares it's probably better to have a /home partition that is larger I think.

No the Greyhole server should not be off. As root user do the following:

Code: Select all

systemctl status amahi-greyhole
If it's not running, try doing this:

Code: Select all

systemctl start amahi-greyhole
Do you have any partitions allocated to the storage pool?
