Hi Guys.
I trying to restore my files with the new system.
Drives attached.
FSTAB updated.
Drives are found by Fedora, and mounted on startup.
Im running a "greyhole --fsck", but it is coming up with the warning
"The directory at var/hda/files/drives/drive28/gh doesn't exist. This drive will never be used !
You should de-select and re-select this partition in your amahi dashboard in the shares storage pool page"
Problem is, of course, this page doesn't exist at the moment.
"Greyhole --stats" shows this drive28 (and another drive, drive 30), being "OFFLINE"
I've gone thorough the "manual greyhole instructions", but cannot see the problem.
Any advise would be gratefully received.
Regards

Re: Message : "This drive will never be used !"
Is the gh folder already on the drives? Did you use hda-diskmount to add the drives? Ensure the mount point exists in /var/hda/files/drives and has the correct permissions.
If you followed the guidance in the wiki for Greyhole, then the config file should be correct.
UPDATE: If you search the forums, I believe someone else had the same issue.

Hi. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
I performed a search but couldn't find anything similar.
Could you post that link please ?
Yes. I added the drives as per instructions (hda-diskmount) etc, and added the drives, one by one.
Question. If I manually just add the Gh directory to the problem drives. Will that fix it.
Cheers.

Edit.
Both of my problematic drives were empty.

I may have fixed it. I found a reference to this
I entered these (for my 2 problematic drives)
greyhole --replace=/var/hda/files/drives/drive28/gh
greyhole --replace=/var/hda/files/drives/drive30/gh
I restarted the machine, and both drives are now recognised. Hope this helps someone.

Might be something worth adding to the wiki.

Re: Message : "This drive will never be used !"
yep.
Fixed
The same thing occurred with another two drives. Both empty.
"Greyhole --stats" showed both drives "OFFLINE"
In both cases, I had to manually navigate to the drive and create the gh folder.
(var/hda/files/drives/drive28/)
"mkdir gh"
Then I entered the command
"greyhole --replace=/var/hda/files/drives/drive28/gh"
Reboot,
That enabled Greyhole to see the drive and write to it accordingly.
My server is now happily chugging away with 15 drives !
If good enough, can someone "wiki" this for me ?
cheers.
