Hey guys, so I had ubuntu running off a usb flash drive and it failed entirely. (lesson learned)
No backups of any configuration files, although it was a pretty simple 5 drive setup.

I was wondering if it is possible to recover the snapraid configuration somehow, or if I am SOL.
Can I rebuild it manually?

I was using mhddfs in addition to snapraid. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, I don't know where to start with this one. Thanks

Michael,

If you have the datadisks and parity snapraid can extract a "simplified" configfile as a baseline.
Sorry but I'm in a hurry so I don't have the instructions or link but search the forum or wait for the other memebers to chip in.
