issues with greyhole --going

Postby whartsell » Thu Dec 16, 2010 9:29 am

Im trying to remove a disk from my pool with greyhole --going /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/gh and get the following response:

[root@amahi /]# greyhole --going /var/hda/files/drives/drive1/gh
Please use one of the following with the --going option:
/var/hda/files/gh
/var/hda/files/drives/drive1/gh


Thanks for your help

If you enter just "greyhole", you'll see the correct syntax for the --going option:

Code: Select all

-n, --going[=path] Tell Greyhole that you want to remove a drive. Greyhole will then make sure you don't loose any files, and that the correct number of file copies are created to replace the missing drive. If you don't supply an option, the available options (paths) will be displayed.
So you need to:

Code: Select all

greyhole --going=/var/hda/files/drives/drive1/gh
FYI, on Linux, the = is mandatory for command line options that have an optional value.
For options for which the value is mandatory, you can substitute the = with a space.

I know older posts on this forum, and maybe on the wiki, show the now incorrect syntax. I'll try to update them.
