# Now, you either need to wait for Greyhole'S nightly check to start, or you can start it manually from a terminal, as root, using this command: greyhole --fsck
# Monitor /var/log/greyhole.log to see when the ''fsck'' operation is done.
# Once ''fsck'' is done, your data has now been moved into the Greyhole storage pool (in the drives you selected in Shares > Storage Pool). All that should be left in the previous location of your data (''/media/External Drive/Movies'' from the previous example) should be symbolic links pointing to the new file copies. If the previous location is just empty directories (no symlinks), do not panic. This is normal if your previous location is an NTFS or FAT partition (drive).# Move all those directories / symlinks from there into the correct folders in /var/hda/files/share_name
# Back in the Amahi dashboard, edit the path of the shares once again, and put back ''/var/hda/files/share_name'' (i.e. the folders where you moved the symbolic links).
# If you used an NTFS or FAT partition for the previous location, you'll need another fsck to create the symlinks where they should be. Either wait for midnight, or launch it manually, from a command line, as root: ''greyhole --fsck''
You're done. All your existing data is now stored in the various drives included in your storage pool, and are accessible via the Samba shares you have defined in the Amahi dashboard.
