= Greyhole-related Improvements =
* Supporting GH at The Greyhole package that is now part of Amahi has been upgraded from version 0.7.5 to 0.9.1 (vs the latest). Here's what 0.9.1 has to offer, versus 0.7.5 before), with substantial improvements and fixesearlier. Amahi-Greyhole changes:* GH Now Amahi-Greyhole now defaults to using MySQL as a back-end, instead of SQLite. This comes with a '''10x performance improvement''' while processing file operations, which will in file event handlingturn transform into a substantial speed improvement when Greyhole is moving new files into the storage pool, especially for small files.
* 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])
Greyhole changes:* Allow fsck of specific driveSmall performance improvements here and there.* Fsck will --fsck can now find orphaned filesthat are in the storage pool, but for which there is no symlink on the share, and no metadata (tombstone) files.* Added totals to –statsThe daily --fsck will now only run when the configuration files changed since the last --fsck. A weekly unconditional --fsck is still scheduled.* Now requires samba => 3Keep files last modified and created dates.5* Many small performance improvementsNew --status command-line option, to display what Greyhole is currently doing.* Improvements Use a spool directory to initlog pending file operations, instead of using syslog.d script* always repair Fix multiple issues that would cause files to be sent to the attic (optimizeRecycle Bin) tasks and settings MySQL tables, but only Repair tasks_completed table only if it's crashed; also added logging about this or end up with the wrong filename or path, when renaming files or directories.* Fix to allow space characters in paths to greyholedrives included in the storage pool.* Fix for non-english systems, that confused Greyhole when looking for free space stats.log* Improvement: take into account path and vfs objects lines from Fix to ignore comments in smb.conf when checking if the config changed* Fix an issue where having an iTunes library on a Greyhole share could cause problems. In particular, importing a video, and changing it's type to decide if ''TV Shows'' would make the file disappear from the daily fsck should run or notiTunes library.* New feature: --cancel-fsck command line option, that cancels all current and scheduled fsck tasksbalance could misbehave when the drive with the most free space had 1+ ''twin'' (other drives with the same amount of free space)* Improvement: Added # of spooled tasks Fix an issue that would make Greyhole take a ''long'' time to process directory renames, especially if the output of --view-queuerenamed directory has many files & subdirectories in it.* Improvement: improved --balance loggingGreyhole would sometimes use the wrong drive, removed 10if a drive included in the pool would be a subdirectory of another. For example,000 having /var/hda/files and /var/hda/files limit during /drives/drive1 in the storage pool.* Fix an issue where Greyhole would crash when there was too many pending file operations (in the spool directory).* Fix an infinite loop in --balancefsck when it would take more than 8 hours to run.* Fix an infinite loop when one of the storage pool drive is read-only.
