	WARNING
	If you follow this guide to update Greyhole manually you do so on your own risk. If it breaks, it's on you. All the steps below should be executed as root.

Fedora

Amahi releases new versions of Greyhole (GH) after they've been tested.

To update to the latest version available, do the following:

As root user, execute

yum update amahi-greyhole

NOTE: The ONLY officially supported Greyhole package for Amahi 7 or greater is available from the Amahi repository. The Greyhole web site no longer provides updates for Amahi. If you attempt to install anything other than amahi-greyhole, it could render your HDA inoperable.

Ubuntu

Amahi releases new versions of Greyhole (GH) after they've been tested. Official Greyhole for Amahi on Ubuntu 12.04.x: 0.9.22

Greyhole Repo

Use the Greyhole APT repository. If you didn't already, add the Greyhole APT repository to your APT configuration.

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://www.greyhole.net/releases/deb stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/greyhole.list'
curl -s http://www.greyhole.net/releases/deb/greyhole-debsig.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Manual install

Manually install the latest DEB package.

1. Find current version:

sudo greyhole

2. Is there a new version? Browse the archive and copy the link for the latest greyhole.

3. Back to terminal, make sure you execute as root (sudo). Example update command for 64-bit:

wget http://www.greyhole.net/releases/deb/greyhole-0.9.31-1.amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i greyhole-0.9.31-1.amd64.deb

4. Check the GH log for any errors that might have occurred after the upgrade

tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log

5. Re-check the version of your newly updated Greyhole install, and enjoy!

sudo greyhole

-=== Troubleshooting ===
-'''Can't access your shares after you upgraded ?'''
-Try to re-install the same RPM a second time. Sometimes, the script included in the RPM can't create the Greyhole module for Samba where it should, and this will cause your Greyhole pooled shares to become unaccessible. Re-installing the same RPM a second time always fix that issue. Use the same command but add the --force parameter<br>
-{{Code|rpm -Uvh --force http://www.greyhole.net/releases/rpm/`uname -i`/`rpm -qa hda-greyhole`.rpm}}
-Use the following command to verify that the Samba symlink was indeed created:
-{{Code|ls -l /usr/lib*/samba/vfs/greyhole.so}}
