Hi,
We've been using owncloud (7) for a student group for the past year and
the results have been mostly pleasing. However, due to some bug in an
upgrade a while back (#12475, #13429 and the like), plus maybe some
steps taken to try to fix them that more or less worked, our group
shares are halfway broken, ie. they work as is, but "special things"
happen if we try to modify them.
Anyways, we're planning to upgrade (soon) to 8.1 and change our
auth/group system (from owncloud to LDAP). So, while we're at it, I'd
really like to get a clean slate for pretty much everything (including
shares which I'd just redo) except the data.
So, on a scale of it's a good idea to it's a really bad idea, how
feasible would it be to just keep the data (ie. in owncloud/data), scrap
the old database and start anew, knowing that:
- Individual users don't own anything, everything is owned by a single
account and then folders are shared to groups of users (so it's just a
matter of redoing shares)
- I can afford some downtime for this
- I don't care if I loose complimentary db data such as app data, old
versions, shared links, etc.
I would expect it to be relatively simple, ie. just having the data
there and finding a way to run the indexer on this data so that it can
populate the db correctly, but if that's not possible (is there a script
already present for that?) I could also "manually" reupload everything.
Am I missing something?
Finally, how would the desktop client react to such a thing? I would
guess that it would find that the etags have changed and just redownload
everything from the server? Is that correct?
Thanks for your time,
Frédéric Fortier
