The following guidance is provided to assist users with setting up Greyhole in Amahi 7. This has been tested with no issues. Please note this is ONLY a work around until Greyhole is integrated into the Amahi 7 dashboard.
NOTE: There is no guarantee this will work for you or not cause problems with your Amahi 7 install. Please proceed with caution as carelessness could cause data loss.
As root user, perform the following steps:
- Install the package (to get the latest version, follow upgrade guidance):
yum -y install amahi-greyhole
- Set up a mysql database and user to access it:
hda-create-db-and-user greyhole
- Load the database schema:
mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql
Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
- Change db_user and db_password to greyhole.
- Add a line for each drive (go here for adding new hard drives) in the storage pool at the end of the file. The example below is for two drives:
storage_pool_drive = /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gb storage_pool_drive = /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb
- 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
num_copies[Books] = 999 num_copies[Pictures] = 2 num_copies[Movies] = 1
NOTE: 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 Extra Parameters for each share you will be configuring to use Greyhole:
dfree command = /usr/bin/greyhole-dfree vfs objects = greyhole
- Finally, enable greyhole permanently and start the service:
systemctl enable amahi-greyhole.service systemctl start amahi-greyhole.service
- You can monitor activity by watching /var/log/greyhole.log file:
tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log
Return to Amahi 7 Installation page.
