CLOSED: Reinstalled Amahi lost mirrored data drive

Postby kiniku70 » Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:17 pm

I have three hard drives in my Amahi X64 server. One 256GB for the Amahi installs and two 1TB drives for data. My 256 Amahi drive crashed but the two 1TBs were unharmed so I recently re-installed Amahi. It seems to be working OK but I cannot access any of the usual shares and more importantly is there a way to recover/import the existing data on the two 1TB drives?

Thank you

Did you follow the adding a second hard drive to your HDA tutorial after the reinstall?

The hard drives have to be mounted for Amahi to see them. There is also guidance for reconnecting existing Greyhole storage pool.

Bigfoot no I don't recall doing this from a terminal session that prior time I installed Amahi. I would prefer to have all my shares spread over the two 1 TB drives as a mirror and just leave the 256GB for the OS. Is there not a way to do this from within Amahi or under a GUI of some kind?

No some command-line is required and always has been for adding drives. You using Greyhole? It provides file redundancy. You would need command-line to move shares as well.

Amahi 7 is headless. No desktop GUI.

OK. I can only think I must have had it all on the 1st drive then all along.

OK thank you for the replies and help Bigfoot.
