I got these two HDAs connected but now the problem is Greyhole that I'm using on both ends.
How do I rsync my files so they would be located in Greyhole pool and be seen on shares?

If I just copy the folder eg. /var/hda/files/music to another HDAs corresponding folder it just copies the link files but not the actual data.
If I get it right the actual data is in /var/hda/drives. But if I copy that it fills my first partition and doesn't use the Greyhole pool.
I somehow was able to copy the actual files on one HDA to another but they were copied also to first partition that filled up pretty fast.

So I'm wondering what to actually copy and to where so it would be usable on SMB also?

I have an idea but you'll have to give me a few weeks to reply. I only have one hand to type atm (got out of surgery today) and it's too much to type with one hand my response. There is a way using cron, find, and other standard unix tools.
