Currently there is no Dashboard add-on to setup and configure Greyhole for Amahi 7. This must be done manually using the following guidance as [[Open_Terminal_as_rootAmahi_7_Create_Manual_Greyhole_Setup|root user]]: * Install the package (to get the latest version, follow [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhole_updating#Option_2_-_Manually_install_the_latest_RPM upgrade following guidance]):<blockquote>{{code|yum -y install hda-greyhole}}</blockquote>* Set up a mysql database and user to access it:<blockquote>{{code|hda-create-db-and-user greyhole}}</blockquote>* Load the database schema:<blockquote>{{code|mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql}}</blockquote> Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:* Change <u>db_user</u> and <u>db_password</u> to <i>greyhole</i>.<br />* Add a line for each drive (go [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|here]] for adding new hard drives) in the storage pool at the end of the file. The example below is for two drives:<blockquote>{{text|storage_pool_directory <nowiki>=</nowiki> /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gbstorage_pool_directory <nowiki>=</nowiki> /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb}}</blockquote> <b>NOTE:</b> Although the /etc/greyhole.conf contents indicate <b>storage_pool_drive</b>, it should be <b>storage_pool_directory</b>. If you don't set it correctly, Greyhole will not work. * Now configure the number of copies per share. The example below sets the shares as follows:** Books for max copies (which is 1 for 2 drives)** Pictures for 1 copy (which is the same as max)** Movies for no copies<blockquote>{{text|num_copies[Books] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 999num_copies[Pictures] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 2num_copies[Movies] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1}}</blockquote> <b>NOTE:</b> For a system with 2 Greyhole drives, 1 copy is the max. The first Greyhole drive holds the master copy and the second a copy. The share will contain a symbolic link to the master. * In the Dashboard, Shares tab add the following to <b>Extra Parameters</b> for each share you will be configuring to use Greyhole:<blockquote>{{text|dfree command <nowiki>=</nowiki> /usr/bin/greyhole-dfreevfs objects <nowiki>=</nowiki> greyhole}}</blockquote> * Finally, enable greyhole permanently and start the service:<blockquote>{{code|systemctl enable greyhole.servicesystemctl start greyhole.service}}</blockquote> * You can monitor activity by watching /var/log/greyhole.log file:<blockquote>{{code|tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log}}</blockquote>
