Greyhole Attic and full hdd

Postby jostyposty » Sun Oct 10, 2010 12:43 am

I'm mounting my greyhole shares in OS X. Finder says I have only 1.33GB available, but I know this is wrong because I just deleted some big files. Then I ran

Code: Select all

greyhole --stats
and saw I had like 200GB in the attic. But Finder think the share is full and won't let me add a 2GB file.

Should I manually delete the files in ".../gh/.gh_attic"?

Manually, yes, but use:

Code: Select all

greyhole --empty-attic

You might be interested to know that starting with Greyhole 0.6.28 (next version), you'll be able to manage your attic using a share:
About the attic: The attic is used like a Recycle Bin, or Trash.
That means you'll need to manually empty it once in a while.
To do so, use the --empty-attic parameter (see above).
Another option is to create a 'Greyhole Attic' Samba share.
More details about that here: http://greyhole.pommepause.com/doc/attic
Will see with cpg if/how he wants to integrate that new feature into Amahi. If he does, you might not need to do anything manually to have access to this.
