Changing Directory Size

[beans]

First post.

Glad to be here. Switched over from WHS version.1

I have many questions, but just 1 in this post.

I installed Transmission.
My /torrent folder is something like 45 but the drive has 2 tbs.

1. So why is it so small?
2.How does I change it?
3.Are all my system created folders so small?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on how you allocated space on the drive. The shares are on a partition, as is /home and possibly a few others.

My thought is the / partition is not very big, thus the shares don't have the space you expect.

The best thing is to mount a separate partition or drive for them, which would be the /var/hda/files directory.

Using mostly usb drives. All are formatted and clean so each has a single partition of between 1-3 tbs. So the space is there.

/home has 1.9 tb

So this why the the /var/hda/files/torrents has only 44.2 gb.

Check the size of / partition. That is where the shares are located. The /home is not where shares are located, so having it for 1.9TB is a huge waste.

Well I certainly will reduce /home. I do want to maximize the file space. Trying to get it all fixed before I transfer any files.

As I am moving form WHS should I use greyhole? I know it is beta, but how close to WHS is it and it is stable enough for "production"?

[bigfoot65]

Greyhole is stable. There are updates frequently, so its actively maintained by the author. I would recommend using it.

I do and works great for me.

This might help as for setting partition sizes.

Good to hear. I will get the app.

UPDATE - How do I get the app without being a Beta tester?

The partition article requires one to reinstall Fedora is that correct?

UPDATE - Will the apps I purchased and installed be available to me, if I reinstall?

[bigfoot65]

Probably so. I will say it's best to do it right the first time though. Otherwise you won't be happy with it.

[beans]

See update, please.

All apps purchased are yours for life.

As for Greyhole. You don't need the app. It's a manual install as documented in the wiki.
