Greyhole

    Hi, I was wondering if it's possible for greyhole to make extra copies of files that are already on the drive.
    I have a 3TB and 1TB drive on the system already, I have than added another 3TB and 1TB drives. I have set my shared to have 2 copies each but it does not appear to duplicate the files that were already on the drive.
    Thanks for any help.

    I don't use the webgui so i dont know if that runs the fsck immediately or just schedules one for the future. Has it duplicatednow? My system usually runs the fsck at midnight.



    if not and still no work, can you paste your /etc/greyhole.conf here

    So greyhole should create duplicates of existing shares? Is this automated or will I have to run fsck with certain parameters?


    Everything is working on new files being copied over but the old files are not being duplicated.
    The fsck in the webgui seems to run cause I get a confirmation email when it's done.

    if you changed the # of copies for a share, yes it should automatically create the new copies.

    It appears to be working now. I changed it back to 1 copy only, restarted than changed it back to 2 copies and restarted.
    Not sure why it's working now but thanks for the info.
