Currently there is no Dashboard add-on to setup and configure Greyhole for Amahi 7.  This must be done manually using the [[Amahi_7_Create_Manual_Greyhole_Setup|following guidance]] as
 
 
* Install the package (to get the latest version, follow [https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhole_updating#Option_2_-_Manually_install_the_latest_RPM upgrade guidance]):
 
<blockquote>{{code|yum -y install hda-greyhole}}</blockquote>
 
* Set up a mysql database and user to access it:
 
<blockquote>{{code|hda-create-db-and-user greyhole}}</blockquote>
 
* Load the database schema:
 
<blockquote>{{code|mysql -u greyhole -pgreyhole  greyhole < /usr/share/greyhole/schema-mysql.sql}}</blockquote>
 
 
 
Initialize the basic settings for Greyhole, configure /etc/greyhole.conf:
 
* Change <u>db_user</u> and <u>db_password</u> to <i>greyhole</i>.<br />
 
* Add a line for each drive (go [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|here]] for adding new hard drives) in the storage pool at the end of the file.  The example below is for two drives:
 
<blockquote>{{text|storage_pool_directory <nowiki>=</nowiki> /var/hda/files/drives/drive2/gh, min_free: 10gb
 
storage_pool_directory <nowiki>=</nowiki> /var/hda/files/drives/drive3/gh, min_free: 10gb}}</blockquote>
 
 
 
<b>NOTE:</b>  Although the /etc/greyhole.conf contents indicate <b>storage_pool_drive</b>, it should be <b>storage_pool_directory</b>.  If you don't set it correctly, Greyhole will not work.
 
 
 
* 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
 
<blockquote>{{text|num_copies[Books] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 999
 
num_copies[Pictures] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 2
 
num_copies[Movies] <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1}}</blockquote>
 
 
 
<b>NOTE:</b>  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 <b>Extra Parameters</b> for each share you will be configuring to use Greyhole:
 
<blockquote>{{text|dfree command <nowiki>=</nowiki> /usr/bin/greyhole-dfree
 
vfs objects <nowiki>=</nowiki> greyhole}}</blockquote>
 
 
 
* Finally, enable greyhole permanently and start the service:
 
<blockquote>{{code|systemctl enable greyhole.service
 
systemctl start greyhole.service}}</blockquote>
 
 
 
* You can monitor activity by watching /var/log/greyhole.log file:
 
<blockquote>{{code|tail -f /var/log/greyhole.log}}</blockquote>
