Rebuilding greyhole pool after reinstalling OMV

gtelliott · 20. Februar 2015

Actually prolly have anamlgamate as one folder because when you are adding to plex it doesn't let you see anything but folders til you add the library. I would not be able to figure out how to add the files that are beside the subdirectory "MoviesTwo" in "collection" in pleb web client"

Zitat von gtelliott

I think it would work better to add additional content as I format it (to take advantage of the pooled space) to unload the MoviesTwo directory into its parent as one big happy "collection" (sry wife wants dinner so I iphone now)

OK. There's several ways of doing that and I don't really know which is "best" but I would do it like this:

First, let's get rid of "Collections", since it should be empty anyway.

Code

rmdir Collections/

OK, now lets move everything from "MoviesTwo" to "Collection". I ran through the whole process to test it out. I hope it makes sense.

Code

So, the key command here is:

Code

mv * ../

mv --> "move"

* --> "everything"

../ --> "up one directory"

You simply go into the "MoviesTwo" directory and then type that code, and it moves everything into the parent directory and leaves "MoviesTwo" empty.

You can then

Code

cd ..
rmdir MoviesTwo

...but your "TV Shows" directory is still on its own, as a sub-directory of Movie collection.

I suspect you want "TV Shows" to be in it's own top-level directory, like "Collection".

To do that, just do:

Code

cd Collection/
mv TV\ Shows/ ../

To see it in action, and the results:

Thanks Cogitech . You and all of the knowledgeable folks in this forum work too hard to clean up the messes us dopes make trying to use code. Alas my phone won't let me scroll through the code for some, can't get back to terminal until my Wife is fed and my typing is declining with each scotch and water . I'll have to attack Bbphon

gtelliott · 20. Februar 2015

Tried to say I cant touch til mornin but phone is freaking out. Get your self a scotch and I will report. Again I am very grateful for your effort and help

Lastly, if you don't really want the "Collection" directory to be named "Collection" but "Movies" (or something else), just:

Code

mv Collection/ Whatever_You_Want/

As long as the "Whatever_You_Want" directory doesn't exist, mv will rename "Collection" to "Whatever_You_Want".

Now go create your shares and get snapraid setup!

gtelliott · 20. Februar 2015

Sry. But one question. Why when I'm in Allmedia and I type ls it lists collection and collections but then I cd into collection it says no such directory?

tekkb · 20. Februar 2015

How are you trying to cd into it??? When you are in a folder and want to cd into a subdirectory in that folder you can:

ls (to list files/folders in the current folder)

then to change to one of the subdirectories:

cd ./nameoffolder

gtelliott · 20. Februar 2015

Morning Tekkb. I figured that file view issue out - I just cd'd back to root then typed the path all the way to the subdirectory, then typed command ls -la, and I could view all 467 files. Actually that is all good, mhddfs is set up perfectly, and I set up the snapraid as well. Unfortunately the snapraid sync killed itself about 20 minutes in, and that is what I am dealing with now. I'm gonna change this thread to "resolved", and take that issue up as a new thread. I took a picture of the terminal screen - and will try to embed that to see if anyone can identify the problem. I a afraid it was a CPU overheat. I've noticed that the cpu heats up quickly under load, and cools down pretty quickly when the watercooler/fan throttles up. I'd like to find a way to manually just throttle the thing up all the way so that it doesn't heat up to begin with.

Anyway, thanks so much again to you, Cogitech and davidh2k for walking me through this whole debacle.
