No - it deleted the files in the new dir.
For more info - I had my datastore in d:\freenet\store.
In that directory, there was a file called 'store_<portnum>'.
Also, there was a directory there called '<portnum>', which had all the
store files.
Then, I shut down the node, and created a PGPdisk, which I mounted as drive
'F:'.
I moved the datastore files into F:, so there is now:
F:\store_<port>
F:\<port>\
same directory and file structure as before.
I made sure I correctly set the new values in freenet.ini to point to this
new datastore.
As soon as Freenet came up it deleted all the files in the <port>
subdirectory, then went to work as normal.
Keys I requested got written to the new datastore directory.
Also, indexes got written to the 'store_<port>' index file.
You've confirmed that this index file uses absolute rather than relative
paths.
That might explain Freenet deleting all the existing files.
