This list scenarios where if data is lost but meta data is still present and suggests to just to issue

garage repair -a --yes blocks

One challenge with these instructions is that garage refuses to come up in a empty data directory. It throws following error:

Error: Could not find expected marker file `garage-marker` in data directory `<location>`, make sure this data directory is mounted correctly.

Instructions need to be updated on how to start Garage in such scenario.
