Re: [knot-dns-users] Fwd: [knot-resolver-users] Any "gothcas" going from 2.65 to 3.04 I should know about?

Hi Chris, first of all, you seem to be talking about Knot DNS, so it's proper to switch to correct mailing list, instead of Knot Resolver's one. I assume you have read all the single-version migration guides below https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/3.0/singlehtml/index.html#upgrade-2-6-x-to-2-7… . It's clear that when migrating over multiple versions, you need to take care about all the notes at once. What databases exactly are you talking about? Knot DNS uses multiple databases for different purposes, e.g. journal or KASP DB. The good news is, their format does not change much, and when it does, it's usually backwards-compatible, with some exceptions. I would strongly recommend that you clone your environment, perform the migration in some "playground" setup first, and observe if everything went well; all before migration your production setup ;) Should you encounter any issues, please contact us on our mailing-list. Anyway, you might consider a multi-step migration, so that you would migrate by just one (major) version at once, like this: 2.6.5 -> 2.7.8 -> 2.8.5 -> 2.9.9 -> 3.0.5. Thanks!
