I've noticed my server running constantly now for 2 days. I satrted monitoring the Greyhole Logmon and noticed it is going through every file on my server and trying to write it, but failing. there are 2 sets of warnings I get. The following is the exampls of each for the same file:

I'm using Amahi 23. I haven't made any hardware or software changes recently. All of my drives have room except /home, which is full.

Not sure what the cause could be.

Might check that you have plenty of space left on the drives, to include the Landing Zone. Are the permissions correct?

Also might find some help in the Greyhole Troubleshooting page in the #Amahi wiki.

Check Greyhole stats and the .conf file. Are you using the latest version which is 0.10.0?

OK...wall of text coming. I followed the Greyhole troubleshooter, but the end result didn't seem to be the problems I was having. Here is what I found:

4.7.10-100.fc23.x86_64
samba-4.3.11-1.fc23.x86_64

Greyhole Work Queue Statistics
==============================

This table gives you the number of pending operations queued for the Greyhole daemon, per share.

==============================================
Total 7,001 11 7 370

The following is the number of pending operations that the Greyhole daemon still needs to parse.
Until it does, the nature of those operations is unknown.
Spooled operations that have been parsed will be listed above and disappear from the count below.

Spooled 0

OK...wall of text coming.

While we appreciate the details, in future please attach as a file vs posting the long list of text. This makes it easier for all to read.

I had a similar problem since my last reply, but not sure the root cause. What I had to do was empty the Greyhole queue and restart operations. The task table in the greyhole database holds all pending tasks. This can be done using phpmyadmin App, adminer App, or manually as noted in the Greyhole Troubleshooting, Greyhole Work Queue wiki page.

Once I did that, everything went back to normal. I think this may have resulted from the recent update from Greyhole version 0.9.67 to 0.10.0. BTW, there is a new version, 0.10.2 that has been released in the repo. To get it, you may need to do:

I tried doing the Troubleshooter, and it didn't work. The next option was to wipe out the Landing zone, but I don't understand exactly which shares are where and which are supposed to be moved.
I got both the phpMyAdmin app and Adminer, but I can't find anything that does that.
Would you be able to walk me through it?

Also, sorry about the WOT. For future reference what type of file should I post? Notebook?


Thanks.

Might be easier to follow the guidance to do it manually as documented in the last link I listed. The steps are pretty clear.

As for file type, notepad is fine.

BTW the path for each share is listed in the dashboard in the shares tab. Expand the share and you should see it. See Shares extra parameters wiki page for a screen shot.

OK,

My problem is I don't understand what I'm doing at all. From what I'm reading and what your saying, I am supposed to move my shares to another drive? I don't have a big enough drive to move all of the data in my shares.

This is the first line:
cp -rv /var/hda/files/shareName /mnt/timemachine/landingzonebackup/shareName

Do I have to do this for each share individually? I have a Crashplan 1TB disk that I haven't used yet that is not part of Greyhole. I could move some it there. What would the path be?
I thought I was just clearing the Greyhole LZ (which is on /).

I'm so confused.

Here is a list of my shares and their paths

• Appraisal \\hda\Appraisal
  Crashplan \\hda\Crashplan
  Docs \\hda\Docs
  Movies \\hda\Movies
  Music \\hda\Music
  Pathfinder \\hda\Pathfinder
  Pictures \\hda\Pictures
  Software \\hda\Software
  TV \\hda\TV
  Videos \\hda\Videos

with /var/hda/files preceding each share name.

Here is a list of all of my mounted disks and their contents:

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 298.1G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part /boot
├─sda2 8:2 0 7.4G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda3 8:3 0 50G 0 part /
├─sda4 8:4 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 240.2G 0 part /home
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part /var/hda/files/drives/WD2TBsdb
sdc 8:32 0 2.7T 0 disk

sdd 8:48 0 931.5G 0 disk
└─sdd1 8:49 0 931.5G 0 part /var/hda/files/drives/CrashplanDisk

My LZ is on sda3. The disk NOT in the Greyhole is sdd1

So what do I substitute in that command line I posted above?

No no no.

Just do the MySQL portion for stuck work queue. That's what the link points to for me. Don't do the Queue Still Stuck part.

That should clear the database pending Greyhole tasks.

The restart Greyhole and monitor the log.

I feel like an idiot...but which specific part is the MySql section? The only thing I see is talking about shares.

No worries.

It's the area titled "Greyhole Work Queue" and sows commands for MySQL.
