Andrea Mazzoleni e76441e789 With the nocopy option also remove hash info from previous sync. 
If we want to disable the automatic hashing assumption of copy,
we need also to remove any previous hash info already stored
in the content file by previous sync commands run without the
nocopy option.

SnapRAID
========

SnapRAID is a backup program for a disk array.

SnapRAID stores redundancy information in the disk array,
and it allows recovering from up to six disk failures.

SnapRAID is mainly targeted for a home media center, where you have
a lot of big files that rarely change.

Beside the ability to recover from disk failures, the other
features of SnapRAID are:

* All your data is hashed to ensure data integrity and to avoid
  silent corruption.
* If the failed disks are too many to allow a recovery,
  you lose the data only on the failed disks.
  All the data in the other disks is safe.
* If you accidentally delete some files in a disk, you can
  recover them.
* You can start with already filled disks.
* The disks can have different sizes.
* You can add disks at any time.
* It doesn't lock-in your data. You can stop using SnapRAID at any
  time without the need to reformat or move data.
