If your HDA is already set up and running, skip to part 2.
There are a few considerations before installing Amahi for use with Greyhole.
* You can follow the [[Fedora 14 install guide]], you will be all set up for Greyhole use.
*The following is already considered in there, so you could skip to part 2 and won't be bothered by details.
Greyhole works through a so called Landing Zone (lz).
The lz is /var/hda/files.
It's best to choose the lz according to the planned use of the pool.
If you copy large amounts of data to the pool on a regular basis you need a big lz, so you had best give it it's own partition.
You should include the lz in the pool for this option, it will speed up transfers.
You should avoid a large root partition because the space can '''not''' be included in the pool and will be used only temporarily.
* To be able to use Greyhole, you have to turn on *Advanced settings* on your Amahi HDA.
* Now you're all finished setting up Greyhole. As you copy files to the shares, Greyhole will take care of the rest.
