Another, closely related question:  Is is possible to recreate a log on
an external device that has been lost?

I'm benchmarking the use of a SSD for the logdevice (results are a bit
suprising) and one concern that I have is if the SSD fails, can I create a
new log easily for it?  I can always make a image of the logdevice with dd,
and keep it around as a backup, but that seems a bit strange and I'm not
sure that the it would work correctly anyway.
