+# Defines the file to use as parity storage.
+# It must NOT be in a data disk.
+# Format: "parity FILE [,FILE] ...".
+parity /mnt/diskp/snapraid.parity
+# Defines the files to use as additional parity storage.
+# If specified, they enable multiple failures protection
+# from two to six level of parity.
+# To enable, uncomment one parity file for each level of extra
+# protection required. Start from 2-parity, and follow in order.
+# It must NOT be in a data disk.
+# Format: "X-parity FILE [,FILE] ..."

+#5-parity /mnt/diskt/snapraid.5-parity
+#6-parity /mnt/disku/snapraid.6-parity
+# Defines the files to use as content list.
+# You can use multiple specification to store more copies.
+# You must have least one copy for each parity file plus one. Some more do not hurt.
+# They can be in the disks used for data, parity or boot,
+# but each file must be in a different disk.
+# Format: "content FILE"
+content /var/snapraid.content
+content /mnt/disk1/snapraid.content
+content /mnt/disk2/snapraid.content
+# Defines the data disks to use.
+# The name and mount point association is relevant for parity, do not change it.
+# WARNING: Adding here your /home, /var or /tmp disks is NOT a good idea!
+# SnapRAID is better suited for files that rarely changes!
+# Format: "data DISK_NAME DISK_MOUNT_POINT".
+data d1 /mnt/disk1/
+data d2 /mnt/disk2/
+data d3 /mnt/disk3/
+# Excludes hidden files and directories (uncomment to enable).
+#nohidden
+# Defines files and directories to exclude.
+# Remember that all the paths are relative at the mount points.

+# Format: "exclude DIR/"
+# Format: "exclude /PATH/FILE"
+# Format: "exclude /PATH/DIR/"
+exclude *.unrecoverable

+# Defines the block size in kibi bytes (1024 bytes) (uncomment to enable).
+# WARNING: Changing this value is for experts only!
+# Default value is 256 -> 256 kibi bytes -> 262144 bytes.
+# Format: "blocksize SIZE_IN_KiB".

+# Defines the hash size in bytes (uncomment to enable).
+# WARNING: Changing this value is for experts only!

+# Format: "hashsize SIZE_IN_BYTES".

+# Automatically save the state when syncing after the specified amount
+# of GB processed (uncomment to enable).
+# This option is useful to avoid to restart from scratch long 'sync'
+# commands interrupted by a machine crash.
+# It also improves the recovering if a disk break during a 'sync'.
+# Default value is 0, meaning disabled.
+# Format: "autosave SIZE_IN_GB"
+#autosave 500
+# Defines the pooling directory where the virtual view of the disk
+# array is created using the "pool" command (uncomment to enable).
+# The files are not really copied here, but just linked using
+# symbolic links.
+# This directory must be outside the array.
+# Format: "pool DIR"
+#pool /pool
+# Defines a custom smartctl command to obtain the SMART attributes
+# for each disk. This may be required for RAID controllers and for
+# some USB disk that cannot be autodetected.
+# In the specified options, the "%s" string is replaced by the device name.
+# Refers at the smartmontools documentation about the possible options:
+# RAID -> https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_RAID-Controllers
