You need reconstruct with -G before upgrading if you plan to build a new server and replicate your old store to it (which you will find out when you try to replicate). But it won't affect in-place upgrades until you try to replicate them somewhere later.<br></div><div><br></div><div>#2839 is rather more annoying because it affects in-place upgrades and copy-files-and-reconstruct upgrades!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div><br></div><div>ellie</div><div><br></div><div>On Fri, Aug 2, 2019, at 12:44 AM, Savvas Karagiannidis wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Lars,<br></div><div>there was an issue when upgrading to 3.0.x from older versions (2.x).
