SOLVED: Amahi - 500 Issue

Hi,
I've been trying to get my server to restart but getting a Error 500 on the server. I looked through the log files and noticed the following
May 28 21:10:53 home logger: hdactl: this hda has not been completely installed; exiting
I've tried reload commands and the service does not start and I'm starting to think that the config has been lost from the cache. How can you restore the settings for hdactl.
btw - Just recovered after running out of iNodes.
Thanks In Advance
Steffan

Is this a new install? Fedora 14 is end-of-life, so there will be no updates. We provide maintenance support currently, but not expecting anything new to be released.
You might consider switching over to Ubuntu or waiting for Fedora 18. Without more details, I am unsure what direction to go on this one.

You can't restart what isn't started. Try "service hdactl start"

Yes considering a rebuild but want to get my files off the server. It's been good for a year, but had recent issues.

If you are using Greyhole, it's a simple transition. Only shares that are not being replicated by Greyhole will need to be moved.
The wiki has some excellent guidance for reconnecting Greyhole drives.

Wasn't too hard to fix.
1. remove /etc/sysconfig/amahi-hda (I actually also backed up the file).
2. hda-install -n <YOUR CODE>
3. hdactl start
Fix my issue
