admnew Files

When the Daemon copies a Database usually after a session Merge (as opposed to a session-based update), it copies to a temporary file with the suffix .admnew. When the copy is complete, this file is renamed to replace the old database file.

These .admnew files are normally tidied up automatically. However, if the daemon has crashed, it may leave unwanted .admnew files behind, which can prevent a subsequent Daemon attempt to copy the database from running.

Make sure that the satellites and hub remove such files after a crash.

See admnew Files for a full description of .admnew files.
