Hi,

I had some files in /var/tmp which disappeared after the liveupgrade to the 8/11 release, also originally(before the upgrade), I had commented out "root" in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers, but sfter the liveupgrade it was uncommented...........

Can anyone explain this behaviour....

If you lumount(1M) your legacy BE, were those files retained there?

Probably a bug in live_upgrade(5)'s handling of volatile files.

Does this "bug" effect other configuration files?

I didn't see any reference to it in Oracle's Support portal,
but you should open a service request.
