Hah hah, I am aware. I just thought the best way to upgrade to a
recent version was to do it step by step. The first one was done
with no short of pain. Fortunately cyrus is well enginereed inside
so you can always relay in reconstructing and recreating the .db.

I don't have shared state and I don't think 2.2 supports it. I'm
fine with that.

Yes I did, I added partitions.

So maybe the shared folder '.seens' vanished somewhere when
partitions were added. Maybe I could dump the seen database
with ctl_something and restore it again ? Any other clues
would be very appreciated.
