What I did was snag the end of the rebuilddatabase script and cruelly and maliciously slap it onto the end of the find_orphans script, so after you're done checking for extra files it then asks if you want to add them. Additionally, this one is a bit more storage group aware and now by default assumes any backend may write to the same storagegroups.<br>
<br>I'd appreciate it if someone else would take a look at how it may be able to be done better, I feel like I missed some of the things the bindings may be able to offer me and I'm only using them in the most rudimentary sense to handle the initial database and storage group work.<br>
