<br>
Although, now in the distant past, the underlying Berkeley DB was
rather flaky - it seems that it now takes version upgrades well
and I have not had a problem here for quite a while. Having said
that, if the users.v3 file is really old (or maybe generated on an
other architecture), then the current BDB would refuse to read it.
I think this was version 2 of BDB and below, we are now on version
9. so I don't suppose there are many of these installations left.
However, of late, I have been getting a number of reports about
issues with the Storable module (a standard part of perl) and had
some trouble myself with it. That seems to be the more likely
failure mode.<br>
<br>
But, happily 99.8% of upgrades of this sort go smoothly. But I try
to provide "easy to use" alternatives for 0.2%.<br>
<br>
One of the goals I have with the 'mojo' branch was to remove the
Storable module and replace it with something else. This has now
been done and we are now using JSON as the serialiser for the
users and (dx)qsl files. And it works 2.5 times faster too!<br>

then you could recover by:<br>

stopping the node.<br>
cd /spider/data<br>

You do precisely that. But I suggest that you do an
'export_user' in a console, then stop the node BEFORE
you copy. Do the update on the new machine. You may have
issues with the user and qsl file, if that happens,
rebuild the users file from the user_asc you generated
(perl user_asc) and the qsl file with /spider/perl/<a
href="http://create_qsl.pl" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">create_qsl.pl</a> and, when
it's finished, run 'load/qsl' in a console.<br>
