'''NOTE:''' For the procedures below, most will require '''root''' user privileges.
 
 
In order to speed up the entire process, you should backup the following files somewhere safe:
/etc/greyhole.conf
Before re-installing Fedora/Ubuntu, please disconnect all data drives. This will prevent you from potentially destroying any data during the re-installation process. Then, install Fedora/Ubuntu and Amahi using our installation guide.
* Ubuntu: [http://docs.amahi.org/ubuntu-12.htmlUbuntu]* Fedora: [http://docs.amahi.org/fedora-1419.htmlFedora]
Next, connect your data drives back to your server, then use the contents of your previous /etc/fstab to mount your data drives in their old paths (hint: copy and paste the lines that have mount points in /var/hda/files/drives/). When you're finished, mount the drives with:
{{Code|Next, connect your data drives back to your server, then use the contents of your previous ''/etc/fstab'' to mount -a}}your data drives in their old paths (hint: copy and paste the lines that have mount points in '''/var/hda/files/drives/''').
Note: This would allow When you to remount 're finished, verify the drives on the previous paths in your previous installation. For example, if you have one 1TB and one 2TB harddrive, and they were mounted as /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 and mount points exist: ll /var/hda/files/drives/drive2 repectively, it would be more efficient to remount your data drives on your new Amahi installation in the same locations. If you didn't backup your fstab, simply remount the drives like you were installing them for the first time:
{{Code|If they do not, you will need to create them (replace ''drive1'' with what was reflected in ''/etc/fstab''): mkdir -p /var/hda-diskmount}}/files/drives/drive1
{{Warning|Warning: Before Now you continue, you should check the ownership of are ready to mount the files and folders in /var/hda/files to ensure that it belongs to <user>drives with:<group>
and not under 500:users. This can be resolved by running the following commands as root: mount -a
If there any errors, <u>'''DO NOT'''</u> continue until they are resolved. :'''NOTE:''' This would allow you to remount the drives on the previous paths in your previous installation. For example, if you have one 2TB and one 3TB harddrive, and they were mounted as /var/hda/files/drives/drive1 and /var/hda/files/drives/drive2 repectively, it would be more efficient to remount your data drives on your new Amahi installation in the same locations. However, if you didn't backup your fstab, simply remount the drives like you were installing them for the first time using [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA#Mount_Hard_Drive|hda-diskmount]]. <blockquote>{{CodeWarning|Warning: Before you continue, you should check the ownership of the files and folders in /var/hda/files to ensure that it belongs to 1stadminuser:users If not, this can be resolved by running the following commands as root:  chown -R 10001stadminuser:users /var/hda/files chmod -R g+w /var/hda/files '''NOTE:''' 1stadminuser should be replaced with the primary user who has administration privileges on your HDA. This is typically the first user created at install.}} }}</blockquote>
Then this is what needs to be done:
* Go to Setup &raquo; and select [[Advanced_Settings|Enable "Advanced Settings" with ]] check box via the Amahi Dashboard* Add drives to Greyhole: <br />:<u>Ubuntu</u>:Go to Setup &raquo; SettingsShares &raquo; Storage Pool and check your pooled drives to add them to the pool.* Go :<u>Fedora</u>:If using [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui Greyhole UI], go to Setup &raquo; Shares Drive Pooling &raquo; Storage Pool Partitions and check your pooled drives to add them to the pool(without the app, you will have to add them manually in ''/etc/greyhole.conf'').* Re-create your original shares in the Amahi Dashboard(see [[Storage_and_file_sharing|storage and file sharing]]: Setup &raquo; Shares.<br />:<u>Ubuntu</u>** :You should make sure to select "Use Pool" and select the correct number of extra copies. :<u>Fedora</u>:If using [https://www.amahi.org/apps/greyhole-ui Greyhole UI], go to Setup &raquo; Shares and select the shares to use the pool. Also select the correct number of extra copies desired (without the app, you will have to add them manually in ''/etc/greyhole.conf''). '''NOTE:''' If you don't remember all of your original shares, you can check your old /etc/greyhole.conf file (which includes the extra number of copies) or run the following:  ls -1 /var/hda/files/drives/*/gh/ | grep -v : | sort -u
{{Code|ls -1 /var/hda/files/drives/*/gh/ <nowiki>|</nowiki> grep -v : <nowiki>|</nowiki> sort -u}}
* Run Greyhole's fsck command to rebuild your shares:
{{Code| greyhole --fsck}}
Until this completes, some of your files will be missing from your shares.
