It’s not just the files that can be old. It could be the filesystems and other infrastructure. For example, I had a rather old installation that I had been upgrading for many years, and it used LVM. Every time I booted it complained that it was using older, unsupported LVM metadata (although it still worked). I wanted to switch to btrfs so it was a good excuse to reinstall from scratch. I had long since switched to postfix anyway. I had /etc in etckeeper git and it was trivial to clone before reinstall. -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
