I'm sorry, usally I'm not that blind, but how do I add a comment there?

Login (top right corner, same username/pwd as here.)

Then click the Update link above the issue (and below the blue bar).

I now have 0 kb disk space reported and can not copy anymore files to the server.
Is this related to the bug you mentioned?

No, it isn't.

Check what greyhole is doing (as root):

Code: Select all

service greyhole status; tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log

If you see it's working, then you just need to wait for it to move files away from your system partition to the other drives in your pool.
That is sometimes slower than you copying files in, so it could fill your system drive.

You can also monitor it's progress by using the following command:

Code: Select all

greyhole --view-queue

If you're copying files into ubermovies (or any other share for which you selected 1+ extra copies), this is expected, since greyhole needs to create two copies of each incoming file, so that will for sure take more time that you copying files into your shares.
It's usually a good idea to leave extra copies to 0 during the initial data migration, to prevent that from slowing down your migration. You can add extra copies later, when you're ready.

same here, how can we move this discussion to the other location.

I can not see where / how to post a reply or message.

Also don't know what an RPM is and the link to the RPM is dead.

Much appreciate further guidance.

I managed to transfer my post following Guillaumes instructions above:

Go to the bug page, on the upper right you'll find a "login" link (it was localized in German for me)
Login with your username and password from this forum
When logged in, on the upper left below the blue bar click on "update" and enter whatever you want to appear there.

Worked fine for me.
