Amahi Forums

I can only see the directories on my Samba shares, not the files.
I had a failing primary disk and just replaced it. To replace it, I created the same structure on a new disk, copied over everyting with "cp -a", fixed the boot and swapped disks. But I have no idea if this caused the issue

Samba and Greyhole are working fine, but files are not displayed in local samba share or remote shares.
Any ideas

found the answer. Problem was permissions on the /var/hda/files/drives level
found out that apache couldn't access the files. Set to 777 and everything started working.

That is correct. Looking at your output of /var/hda/files, they were off as are some of the ownership permissions.

All shares should be set to 775 and owned by your firstuser:users.

I have the same issue, but correcting the permissions does not fix it. The shares and files are available when the file is not part of the drive pool. As soon as the share is changed to use the drive pool the shares are listed, but they cannot be accessed.

Strangely enough the files and sub folders are available using the Android App. Strange that the Amahi Anywhere server has different permissions/accessibility than Samba would.

edit:
Same thing with media server; files are available for streaming.

File system is NTFS, but fstab mounts uid=(my first admin) and gid=users
I thought the issue may be related to this post:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/350580/r ... s-not-work
but alas it is not.

edit:
it appears to be related to the /etc/samba/smb.conf line vfs objects = greyhole with that commented out (and restarting the samba server) the files appear as expected.

Does amahi have a special version of samba?
It appears someone has identified the problem in this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966928&page=3

The problem was that he installed Greyhole on 11.10, and that installed the Greyhole VFS for Samba 3.5. When he upgraded to 12.04 (and thus Samba 3.6), Greyhole didn't update, and he was left with a Samba 3.5 VFS. HE switched that VFS for the Samba 3.6 one and it fixed his problems.

I should probably have the Greyhole daemon check for those incompatibilities, and fix them by itself.

but no solution on how to proceed is given. Anyone know what I need to do from here?

Ok I got it. I was in deed an out of date VFS

1.Download the latest release https://github.com/gboudreau/Greyhole/releases 2.Unarchive the tar file 3.find the appropriate .so file given your Samba version and processor architecture. Mine was Samba 4.0 and I run a standard 64 bit processor. (greyhole-*/samba-module/bin/4.0/greyhole-x86_64.so)
4.backup the existing .so (should something not work out right - like the current one is working, right) - Note this is for the x86_64 architecture: 5.replace VFS with new I executed all these as root. I dont know if that is necessary or not (probably).

You should never use the files from the Greyhole web site. We package it separately for Amahi. The best approach is to do: In this case, if the .so file replacement fixed your issue, you should be ok. In future, recommend you use the Amahi package. Otherwise you may break Greyhole on your HDA.
