I am sorry to hear you're running into trouble. purge-db4o should solve
these problems and is continuing to make progress toward release, but I
don't have a timeframe for it yet. There are testing versions of it out,
but it's not ready for a stable release yet.

Thanks for that!

You should be able to copy enough to keep your node's datastore
configuration and its contents.

Two options come to mind, and it depends on whether your want the new
node to get the old darknet reference. In either case, replace the
"/datastore/" directory of the new node with that of the old one.

If you want to keep the same reference, copy the "node-<darknet port
number>" file to the new node. Then replace the
"node.opennet.listenPort" and "node.listenPort" lines in the new
freenet.ini with those in the old. I do not recommend running both nodes
after doing this because I expect them to conflict with one another.

If you do not want to keep the same reference, replace the "location"
line in the new "node-<darknet port number>" with that from the old.
