'''ObjectiveDescription''': Expanding the storage capacity is an important feature of Amahi but as of now it requires advanced (e.g. command line) skills. We want easy disk/partition onboarding. Create and amahi Also add the ability to be asked to mount USB drives as a share when they're connected & connect external shares from for example a NAS with the plugin system using that provides an UI that allows for the management of the greyhole poolwizard.

'''Expected resultObjective''': Create an amahi plugin that will streamline this process by providing a UI for disk management. The plugin should detect if a new disk was added and it should provide a wizard to create partitions and format with the desired file system

The plugin should allow an administrator user to'''Skills Required''':add/remove disks to/from the pool.*change the number of copies for individual file/directory*invoke various gh commands*view and monitor log files*gui to visualize data distributionLow level system scripting

==User Onboarding=='''Description''': Greyhole is an application that uses Samba to create a storage pool of all your available hard drives (whatever their size, however they're connected), and allows you to create redundant copies of the files you store, in order to prevent data loss when part of your hardware fails. The purpose of this plugin is to provide a UI and the necessary tools under the UI to make starting and managing a Greyhole UI possible and nice to understand for regular humans.

Improved workflow for users to come up with their HDA running '''Objective''': Create and amahi plugin that provides an UI that allows for the management of the greyhole pool. The plugin should allow an administrator user to:Happier usersadd/remove disks to/from the pool.* change the number of copies for individual file/directory* invoke various gh commands* view and monitor log files* gui to visualize data distribution

==Backup app data/settings=='''Description''' : An important drawback of Amahi is the inability that it's hard to backup the installed applications and their user data '''Objective'''

'''Expected resultMentor''': Rod, Daniel

The plugin should allow an administrator to backup any application data either on an external media == Apps or in the cloud(e.g.: Dropbox, Google Drive, etc).The restore process should check if the application is installed on the HDA and if not it should be automatically installed from the AppStore before the user data is restored.App related==
