So after two days

Install seems pretty stable but with a couple of quirks.
1. My DCHP leases screen says there are no active leases. This seemed to work right after installing but hasn't since that time. On day 2 it says no leases even though multiple devices are active (and dhcp turned off on router). I never had this issue on fedora where the page was always updated.
2. On the debug page, the app log and the other log page (not system information) are blank. App log had some content on day 1, but empty on day 2. There should have been maybe something in there since I was doing stuff with logitech media server and minidlna so that was a strange one.
3. On day 1 the "disks" page was blank - not reporting any drives. On day 2 this page started working reporting all 4 installed drives along with their temperatures.
4. Have run into some quirks with minidlna that I didn't have on Fedora. When syncing from a windows 7 machine using sync toy, seems like the files are being assigned to root:root rather than username:users so I had to chown everything. After chowning I then had to force minidlna to rebuild its database. I wasn't sure if this was working so I stopped the service, removed the shares listed in the. conf, then started it, re-edited the conf and restarted the service. This seemed to get things moving (heard the disks spin up, conceivably to read the "new" directories I added to minidlna.conf.)
Don't know if this is related to greyhole (which I never used before) or something else. On fedora I had all three disks using an LVM but decided I didn't want to use that setup anymore...but I need to determine if all new synced files are being assigned to root and if so figure out how to change that because I don't want to have to chmod every time I sync new files and such to the server. Basically I need to do some more examination on this one, but nothing was showing up (photos, music or videos) until I did the chown.
