Upgrading LeoFS

The upgrade procedure for LeoFS is generally the same as the package upgrade procedure for the other FiFo services. You would login to each of your LeoFS zones and install any available updates.

pre 1.3.0 update

Starting with the packages for 1.3.0 LeoFS does follow the same directory structure as FiFo (namely all mutable data is in /data).

Updating form a pre 1.3.0 release requires some extra steps.

Shut down the LeoFS instance.
Install the new packages
Copy the old data over to the new locations.

New locations translate as following.


`/var/db/<service>`	`/data/<service>/db`
`/opt/local/<service>/etc`	`/data/<service>/etc`
`/var/log/<service>`	`/data/<service>/log`

Update Pkgsrc and install any available updates

pkgin -fy up
pkgin install leo_manager leo_gateway leo_storage

There may be additional LeoFS steps that need to be performed to successfully update LeoFS from one version to another and if so would be listed on the LeoFS Project's Upgrade Page.

It is very Important that you read that information prior to commencing any package upgrade and carefully follow the process update order listed in the below diagram.

The process for replacing LeoFS managers with new pair (re-installed pair) is not yet documented ( https://github.com/leo-project/leofs/issues/513 ).
