Amahi Forums

I recently installed Amahi 6 using the Fedora 14 install DVD. Installation went fine and I can access the server from all machines on my network. During the install, my 500GB hardrive was partitioned - when checking storage from the hda panel, the drive shows two partitions (partition1 - 49GB, partition2 - 450GB). When trying to move files to the server, I am given a space limitation error and cannot seem to access the 450GB partition. Is there a way to delete the second parttion and have system files and shared files (music, docs, etc.) on the same partition? Thank you.

Open up a terminal on your hda and type: df -h
Show us the output.
Can you paste a screen shot of your Storage/Partitions screen?

Do you know if you are using Greyhole?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_hda-lv_root

/dev/sda1 485M 29M 431M 7% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_hda-lv_home
408G 214M 387G 1% /home


Above is the output of df -h on the hda.
Not sure about Greyhole. How can I check that?
Thank you for the quick reply.

Did you adjust anything related to drive partitioning during the install?

It's curious that your root partition ('/') is so small and your home partition is so big.

Amahi creates all of its shares in /var/hda/files (which is part of the '/' partition), so with such a small size, there isn't much room for data.

I can think of a couple of routes you could take to fix this.
1. Re-install and make sure that '/' gets most of the drive space. As long as you are using your hda as a server and not as a regular workstation for someone (you shouldn't), you don't need much space in /home.

2. If you know your way around Linux a bit you can set up a separate (large) partition or drive and mount it in /var/hda/files. That's what I do. Having a separate drive (or at least a separate partition) is good if your OS gets corrupted or the disk dies.

Fedora 14 allocates most of the drive to the /home dir. Best to follow the wiki guidance to install without LVM. It gives a good partition size plan for install.

Ah, I didn't think about the LVM install! I just finished my LVM install, but since I had a custom layout, I didn't see the suggested partition allocation.

Reinstalled without LVM and drive is partitioned correctly now. Thanks again.

Awesome. We probably should add something to the install instructions indicating this potential issue on use of drive space.
