Amahi Forums

Linux novice here moving away from WHS. I have a question that I can't quite figure out based on the installation instructions and forum posts. I am trying to install Amahi with 2 hard drives initially. The first drive is 40GB and the second is 2TB. I want to install just the OS on the 40GB drive, and all of the data on the 2TB. I am a bit unclear as to how to accomplish this as most everything I read says to install Amahi at first with only one drive connected.

The installation instructions read:

If you want all your data in a separate disk, mount it at
/var/hda/files/

, but I am not sure how to do this and whether or not this should be done after the OS install or during it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

The second drive would be added after the OS and Amahi install. See the guidance in the wiki.

So, I should not create the /var/hda/files/ partition on the first drive at all and just follow the directions for adding a second drive after Fedora and Amahi are installed? I'll give it a whirl.

I would recommend you follow the later. You can mount the second drive as /var/hda/files, but that does not leave you a drive for Greyhole redundancy per say.

If you do not have more than 30GB of data files, I would leave the second drive for Greyhole and the OS drive will automatically handle the /var/hda/files.

Well, my intention was to add a third drive and have the Greyhole pool include the second and third drive for redundancy. Will that not work?

Yes that will work.
