I need help recovering one of my failed drives. The manual is confusing because my config file uses totally different naming. I wonder if the manual is written for Linux and I am using windows.
I need to recover "data d2 L:\array\"
The manual says "data d1 /mnt/new_spare_disk/"
What exactly am I supposed to edit in my config file to recover my "data 2/L drive"?
Is this correct according to the manual?

So do I put in config where the data drives are:
data d2 L:\new_spare_disk\
_____________________________________________________
So I make the content file section say
content L:\new_spare_disk\snapraid.content
____________________________________________________________
(manual says "snapraid -d NAME -l fix.log fix")
So then when I run fix command I run
C:\snapraid>snapraid.exe -d data d2 L:\new_spare_disk\ -1 fix.log fix (only need the "d2". Do not the "path" or "data") Also it is an L not a 1)
Is this correct?
Edit: The correct command is "C:\snapraid>snapraid.exe -d d2 -l fix.log fix" and I found out I was having cable issues. I reseated all my drives and cables and replaced 1 cable and my missing/failed drive came back so I don't think I need to recover anything. I am running a scrub command now.
Phew, I hope that's all it was! Also thanks to my friend he figured out the correct code and config setting. I was misunderstanding the manual. I guess it makes sense to other programmers lol.
