The above application plug-ins were tested on the Amahi ownCloud installation.
==Tips==
 
===Disk Storage===
 
At some point after the installation of when logged in to ownCloud via the "administation" or a “user” ID navigate to Settings => Personal area there will be "similar" message displayed at the top of the page. This will either puzzle or confuse a user.
<center>''"You use 3 GB of the available 43.4 GB"''</center>
 
But wait a minute. The the computer for this has nearly 1 Terabyte of disk storage! What is going on here?
 
ownCloud is installed in the /var directory tree. In some cases a default install of the host O/S (i.e. Fedora) was performed possibly with out any advanced disk partition planning. For example, if a “desktop default” partitioning scheme was followed, the /home directory would be large, and the /var directory smaller and most likely was installed in the / (root) disk partition with other "system directories". ownCloud reports on the storage statistics of the partition the "data directory" it exists, usually the /var directory tree.
 
To solve the problem? Put /var in to it's own disk partition, put the ownCloud data directory in a separate disk partition, or allocate more space to the / (root) disk partition. Or the real painful part? Re-install the host O/S with a partition plan (I know, OUCH!).
