That's it. Your share(s) are now on your new hard drive:EXAMPLE:[[File:Gstreet_greyhole_pool.png|options|caption]]

===Use the hard drive in your Greyhole storage pool=Bad Blocks==If Optionally, you want to add can test your new hard drive to your Greyhole storage pool, here's how to do thatfor bad blocks.<br/>

First, you:'''NOTE:''' This can take a ''long''ll need time to make complete! Recommend starting it in the evening so it will be completed the mount permanentnext day. [[Open Terminal as root|In a Terminal, as root]], type the following command:

hda-diskmount gave me:To force to spin down after 10 minutes of being idle, add these lines to <div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: code>/etc/rc.5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; marginlocal</code>: 3px 3px 1em 3px;"><strong style="color:blue"pre># power drives down after 10 minutes idle/devsbin/sdb1 hdparm -S120 /vardev/hdasda/filessbin/driveshdparm -S120 /sdb1 ext4 defaults 1 2<dev/strong>sdb...</divpre> Most drives will power down on their own without doing this.

So I should add thisOnce stopped, the drive may take as long as 30 seconds to respond to a subsequent disk access, though most drives are much quicker. The encoding of the -S timeout value is somewhat peculiar. A value of zero means "timeouts are disabled":the device will not automatically enter standby mode. Values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds, yielding timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes. Values from 241 to 251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes, yielding timeouts from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours. A value of 252 signifies a timeout of 21 minutes. A value of 253 sets a vendor-defined timeout period between 8 and 12 hours, and the value 254 is reserved. 255 is interpreted as 21 minutes plus 15 seconds. Note that some older drives may have very different interpretations of these values.

Save and exit nano (CTRL=Troubleshooting===hda-Xdiskmount==If ''hda-diskmount'' does not mount the hard drive or you prefer to do it manually, Y, ENTER), and try your new mountcomplete the following steps:

Create the mount point (choose one '''NOT''' in use) [[Open Terminal as root|in a Terminal, as root]] by executing the following:<blockquote><div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; background-color: #000E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;"> mkdir -p /var/hda/files/drives/drive1</div></blockquote>Identify the hard drive to mount and copy the UUID from the output that corresponds to the hard drive (i.e. sdb)<blockquote><div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px;">mount ls -l /dev/disk/by-auuid/</div></blockquote>
