SOLVED: New drives and greyhole

I have added two additional drives to my Amahi server (3TB each). I currently have an SSD holding the OS only and a 2TB drive currently holding my data. What's the easiest way to get these new drives recognzied by Amahi and then all three drives (the 2TB, and two 3TB drives) set up with Greyhole?

Thanks.

Use the disk-wizard App and greyhole-ui App.

For the manual method, see the adding a second hard drive to your HDA guidance in the wiki. You would have to set up Greyhole manually as well.

Thanks for the info. I used disk wizard for the disk and am setting up greyhole manually. I have a couple quick questions. I'm almost done updating the greyhole.conf file. I have three drive in my system that I want to set up with greyhole.

In the fstab file it shows the original drive that has my data as /var/hda/files The two drives i just added are showing as

/var/hda/files/drives/New1
/var/hda/files/drive/New2

how do i get /var/hda/files included in the storage pool too, or don't I need to?

Thanks.

Don't include /var/hda/files as that's the landing zone.

I didn't include /var/hda/files. I did set it up for the other two drives, however, when I try to copy something to the server it tells me that it can't copy the file because there isn't enough free space.

What do i do to correct this?

Thanks.

Please provide URL for:

Code: Select all

apaste --sysinfo
Need more details about how you set up Greyhole and the /etc/fstab

The system info indicates only 3 drives are mounted, OS and /var/hda/files, and /var/hda/files/drive/New1.

I don't see /var/hda/files/drive/New2

Can you post your /etc/fstab file?

Also since you did a manual Greyhole setup, ensure you have all the parameters in /etc/greyhole.conf properly configured.

BTW, we no longer support #Amahi 9 on Fedora 23. Recommend you consider upgrading to #Amahi 10 on Fedora 25.

Ok. Do i Just do an upgrade per the wiki? This will upgrade me from Fedora 23 to 25 and from Amahi 9 to 10. No clean install required.

the only apps I have installed are Plex and Disk Wizard. Do i need to remove Greyhole before upgrading? If so, are there instructions on doing this?

Thanks.
