Greyhole: Increase disk space
2015-01-01
You can find the installation document here:
Greyhole installation document
This time I want to write about the operations you might need to perform after a while
replace small disk
remove the disk
greyhole --stats greyhole --going=/data/disks/disk1/gh greyhole --stats greyhole --logs service samba stop service greyhole stop
In case there was a landing zone on that disk
rsync -a /data/disks/disk01/landing /data/disks/disk02/ cd /data/greyhole-landing unlink <share_that_have_been_one_the_disk_you_want_to_replace> ln -s /data/disks/disk2/landing/share_name share_name
turn of the server, remove the disk and put in the new one
shutdown -h now
create the zpool
zpool export disk01 zpool create -o version=23 bay1 -m /data/disks/disk01 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST_foobar mkdir /data/disks/disk01/gh
tell greyhole about the new volume vi /etc/greyhole.conf
storage_pool_drive = /data/disks/bay1/gh, min_free: 10gb
Now it’s time for some cleanup tasks
greyhole --stats greyhole --fsck greyhole --logs greyhole --balance greyhole --logs
