On the side.....does anyone know what these red commands actually do EXACTLY?

config devices format dev /reinit /nocore
fsck dev /fix /fixfatal /altsb
predict (individual/mirror/span/raid) [dev,...]
resync dev
debug raid
Sdb [save|dirty|bu [now|restore deviceId|del|mm/dd/yy hh:mi periodHrs]]
fsckmode dev (read current mode)
fsckmode mode (set mode: 1-10)

Some of them .... so I guess you want to know....

Some are not present in the Snap OS, apply to Gyardian OS.

The most common used is the /reinit ... It is used to reformat/init harddrives.
dev .. refer to the actual drive ID not a partition.
predict ..... is used to change configuration.

Are you wanting to experiment?
Most of the cmd are for file systems maintance and/or system check. Have seen some in the FreeBSD manual, have not used.

well not to disagree but they are in my two snaps config/debug pages running snapos 3.4 and 4

and they were made before gaurdianos was ever wrote, produced or sold........

I tried some cmds when I got mine and it came back not supported on my unit. So some may work on 4x00 and up. I thought resync was for raid0. Kind of a defrag untility. FSCK.... are file system cmds. V4 has a few more cmds than v3. I've printed out the cmds as a reference, 3+ pages.
