*Greyhole works through a so called Landing Zone (lz).*The lz is /var/hda/files.*Every file copied to a Greyhole storage pool will first go to the lz.*Greyhole will then move the file to one of the drives in the pool and create a symlinkfor it in the lz.*The important thing about this is that you need to consider the size of the lz.*If you want to copy a large amount of data to the pool, the lz will fill up quickly before Greyhole can distribute the files.*It's best to choose the lz according to the planned use of the pool.

*If you copy large amounts of data to the pool on a regular basis you need a big lz, so you had best give it it's own partition.*You should include the lz in the pool for this option, it will speed up transfers.*If you plan on fillíng up the pool little by little, you can leave the lz on the root partition and make the root partiton a bit bigger, say 30GB.*As the root partition must not go into he pool, the lz stays out of it in this scenario.*You should avoid a large root partition because the space can '''not''' be included in the pool and will be used only temporarily.
