yes, I'd be far more worried about the absence or 'disappearance' of the database. I don't believe there's anything in the "Debian 8 code" that would be responsible for this. Principally because I've successfully transitioned to Stretch on a number of machines without losing the keepass data. It would be useful if you could clone your vault and Debian-8, and repeat the operation. That will give you a chance to do some research without risking your data at all. As Chris suggests, focussing on what is mounted would be a good start. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
