== Important Warnings ==

<div style="color:darkred">You should '''never''' change or delete files in the shared directories (''/var/hda/files/*'' by default) directly on the HDA, using the terminal, or the Gnome file browser, for the shares for which you checked the ''Uses pool'' option in the Amahi dashboard. If you want to work with files on Greyhole shares on the HDA, you should [[Mount Shares Locally]].<br/>

You should be safe reading existing files directly, or adding new files directly, as long as don't care that your new files will only be moved into the storage pool during the next check, which runs automatically at midnight (or manually using ''greyhole --fsck''). Until then, your new files will be stored in your shared directories (normally ''/var/hda/files/share_name/'').
