server crash; playlist recovery?

[Jägs]

Greetings, all:

My ubuntu server crashed due to problems with a RAID array, but I was fortunately able to backup my /var/subsonic folder--it was on the boot drive that ultimately became unbootable. Anyway, I reinstalled Ubuntu, copied the backup to /var/subsonic, and reinstalled Subsonic before I had the music drive mounted. Once I did have it mounted, I logged in and the DB was empty, along with the playlists. I rescanned the drive, and the DB populated, but the playlists were still empty. Crap.

That said, I noticed that the install seemed to have created a backup DB, so I shutdown subsonic, replaced the /var/subsonic/db with the /var/subsonic/db.backup folder and tried again. The DB was populated this time, but I still have no files in the playlists. Note: The only difference between the old system and the new is that the old path to the music (/media/music) was a regularly mounted RAID array, and the new path (/media/music) is a soft link to where the new mount path is.

Is it at all possible to recover these playlists? Some of them are quite large and would take a long time to rebuild from scratch. Note: I do have the M3Us downloaded from the server, but they only contain the URL the the stream, plus the file name of the song, not the full path.

Thanks!

BTW, I was and am running the latest version of Subsonic (4..

Anyone have any idea? I'd rather not try to piece these together manually.

Do your playlists show up with "0" songs in each one, or do your lists not even show up?

You can check the /var/playlists folder (default location - you may have changed this?) to see if they are there, but it may be a moot point since the song ID's would most likely be different between the old installation and the new.

The playlists are still there, but show zero songs (e.g. My Playlist (0)).
