[freenet-support] How to move shrink move datastore ?
Hello, I have Freenet installed in Windows XP on my F:\Freenet drive. I want to move the installation to my C:\Freenet drive. I also want to shrink or change my datastore size from 100Gigs down to perhaps 10Gig instead, before or after the move. I am using Windows XP. How would I accomplish the above ? I have found were to change the size under Advanced, but it doesn't seem to shrink it yet. Does it take time ? Any help with the above would be tremendous. In doing the move, I plan to keep the node up 24/7. -Thad ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

It should work... you may verify afterwith if all the paths and links are correct, but it should be,since normally all the DL folders, Temp folders, and so on are in this same directory... I did often this on the leopard part of my OS and it always worked (Pando, Freenet [this was on Tiger], Ants...) You should give a trial ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

I have found were to change the size under Advanced, but it doesn't seem to shrink it yet. Does it take time ? It can take a significant amount of time, yes. Once the shrink has completed, I recommend you shut down Freenet, copy the important files (freenet.ini, the datastore directory, and anything with a number in it, except for the temp dir) to somewhere safe, and uninstall. Then install a new node on C, shutdown the node, delete the datastore dir and files with a number in their names, and copy the old data over it. Any help with the above would be tremendous. In doing the move, I plan to keep the node up 24/7. This is why you can't just move the directory: You need the new node to still be auto-started. -Thad signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
