SOLVED: Reducing number of extra copies
Posted: Sat Nov 06, 2021 9:49 am
I am using Greyhole UI to manage Greyhole. When I first setup Greyhole, I specified one extra copy on each of the shares. This was a mistake since I have now run out of space on all three 4 TB drives.
I want to free up space by setting extra copies to 0 on one share that has 3 TB of files on it (where I already have an external backup).
I have changed the number of copies to 0 for that share in the Greyhole UI. However, no files seem to have been removed (it has been a couple of weeks).
Is there something I need to/can do to trigger the removal of extra copies on the specified share?
If not, is there an alternative solution I can use to remove the duplicate copies to free up space on the drives installed in the server?
Best regards,
Tom
