SOLVED: How to delete a file

[shapethelola]

Hey there,

Im amazed of greyhole and Amahi, keep it up. The interface already helped me a lot to understand the core features of it and work with it. Ive just got 1 small question.
I mean if I put a file into the landing zone and after greyhole puts it into the greyhole folder and puts the symlink it also puts metadata and metadata backup files into the pool drives. What do I have to do to remove the file itself? Do I have to go through all metadata and gh folders and remove them by myself?

I hope it was not too hard to understand what I try to achieve.

Regards,
Jan

When you delete files from the share, Greyhole will automatically remove it from the /gh directories and database. This will occur the next time it runs.

If you want to learn more about how Greyhole works, check out the wiki or the Greyhole home page.

Thanks a lot.. Sometimes its really as easy as you think it is, but one never knows. You helped me a lot, appreciate it

Ive looked at that posts already, but just couldnt help me with this point in general.

Ive tried this now several times.

The thing is, I have to run greyhole -f with a crontab, it snot doing it automatically. And greyhole -f does recreate the symbolic link when I previously removed it :/ I was expecting that greyhole then deletes the files itself

The fsck should run automatically. What OS are you using? What version of Greyhole?

Well it actually is running but the log does say nothing but this :

Code: Select all

Sep 08 21:28:38 7 sleep: Nothing to do... Sleeping.

Its like it doesn't see something in the Landing Zone

Ive updated to the latest greyhole today, version 0.9.34.

Im using Ubuntu Server 12.04

Check out the guidance in the wiki. There are some troubleshooting tips that might help.

The greyhole update seems to have fixed it, it tonight created all the sym links and copied it to the correct folders.

Now I get a php error :

Code: Select all

Its not really important as it does work as it should, at least it seems that way.

Unsure what that warning is about. Maybe it will resolve itself. Glad things are working better now for you.
