Building new box want to reuse greypool drives.

[mjdano]

Ok so I'm going to rebuild my Amahi server and have a couple of questions. I did some searches and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I want to rebuild the server with a newer mobo, processor & memory but using the same drives for the storage/greypool. So my question is there any good direction on how to do this without losing all of the data? I realize that I will need to reload the OS/Amahi on the new setup, but will I have to copy all of the data off of the drives & then put it back? I could find anything that said about moving greypool dives to another setup if they will retain the data. I can backup all the data but was looking at trying to keep the downtime to a minimum. Any ideas or places to look or ideas to search on to help with this would be great. Thanks for any help.

I've answered at least 3 other threads about the same topic and have done this same process myself.

You can pretty much just re-insert all the drives in the same sequence of SATA plugs and have greyhole do a long

Code: Select all

greyhole -fo greyhole -l

and things should be just fine.. Search is your friend

Maybe we need to add things like this to the wiki. Do you have the time? It would greatly benefit the Amahi community.

I would like to see a kind of FAQ developed there. Finding things in the forum is so difficult in my opinion.
