 = Greyhole-related Improvements =
-* Supporting GH at 0.9.1 (vs 0.7.5 before), with substantial improvements and fixes
+The Greyhole package that is now part of Amahi has been upgraded from version 0.7.5 to 0.9.1 (the latest). Here's what 0.9.1 has to offer, versus 0.7.5 and earlier.
-* GH Now defaults to using MySQL as a back-end, with a '''10x performance improvement''' in file event handling
 * Sync Greyhole configuration with the shares configuration when shares are deleted (bug [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/610 610])
 * Protect against reinstalls and Greyhole DB setup (bug [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/762 762])
 * Fix to make Greyhole handle millions of files in the spool directory. It could lead to hitting memory limits (bug [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/769 769])
 * Double check that shares added to the pool are actual mountpoints (bug [http://bugs.amahi.org/issues/show/611 611])
-* Allow fsck of specific drive
-* Fsck will find orphaned files
+Greyhole changes:
-* Added totals to –stats
+* Small performance improvements here and there.
-* Now requires samba => 3.5
+* --fsck can now find files that are in the storage pool, but for which there is no symlink on the share, and no metadata (tombstone) files.
-* Many small performance improvements
+* The daily --fsck will now only run when the configuration files changed since the last --fsck. A weekly unconditional --fsck is still scheduled.
-* Improvements to init.d script
+* Keep files last modified and created dates.
-* Always repair (optimize) tasks and settings MySQL tables, but only Repair tasks_completed table only if it's crashed; also added logging about this to greyhole.log
+* New --status command-line option, to display what Greyhole is currently doing.
-* Improvement: take into account path and vfs objects lines from smb.conf when checking if the config changed, to decide if the daily fsck should run or not.
+* Use a spool directory to log pending file operations, instead of using syslog.
-* New feature: --cancel-fsck command line option, that cancels all current and scheduled fsck tasks
+* Fix multiple issues that would cause files to be sent to the attic (Recycle Bin), or end up with the wrong filename or path, when renaming files or directories.
-* Improvement: Added # of spooled tasks to the output of --view-queue
+* Fix to allow space characters in paths to drives included in the storage pool.
-* Improvement: improved --balance logging, removed 10,000 files limit during --balance
+* Fix for non-english systems, that confused Greyhole when looking for free space stats.

 * What architectures are supported: 32bit and 64bit x86 architectures (ARM is not yet supported in Amahi 6)
 * Can I upgrade from Amahi 5: yes, with caution and patience. See below. You don't have to, however. Your Amahi 5 server will continue running for years if you let it run!
