[OpenAFS-devel] Incompatible dump format 1.5.27 -> 1.4.3

[Martin Ginkel]

Hi,

I have been playing around with 1.5.27 on MacOS as Client and Server.
I moved some volumes from our 1.4.3 Linux server to the new machine
without problems. But I was not able to move them back.

The same thing happened with dumpfiles: It was only possible to recover
to the new server, for the old ones there was a communication error and
a dead target volume remained on the target server.

Is there an incompatible change in the dump file format or dump/restore
mechanism? In the VolserLog the failed move command reported the same
problem with recovering the dump.
Is this by intention or by bug?

I finally ended up in a round of rsync / fs copyacl to get my
home-volume back to the old stable server. (sigh)

	Best regards
