Hi Walter In the instructions at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FCR30/Upgrading+from+3.x#Upgradingfrom3.x -Upgradingfrom3.xto3.4.2
At 2.b you should have modified fedora.fcfg's paths for these two locations to point to your old object and datastream stores - so those old locations are the locations that Fedora should be now using for your new installation. Maybe the documentation wasn't clear in this respect? (again I notice that the 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 instructions have more detail on this). So after you had followed the instructions these paths should remain as you set them at 2.b - the old locations.
