[BOUNTY claimed] Help test version 0.8, blockchain upgrade

[Gavin Andresen]

There are three 0.5 BTC bounties available for people who will help us test the upgrade-to-release-0.8 code.

I'm looking for:

CLAIMED: Somebody running (or willing to install and sync-up) bitcoind/bitcoin-qt version 0.3.24
(need to test upgrading from a very old version of Bitcoin)

CLAIMED: Somebody running a version of Windows with their bitcoin data directory on a FAT32 filesystem
(need to test upgrading on a very old filesystem)

CLAIMED: Somebody running Windows XP with an NTFS filesystem
(need to test upgrading on a very old operating system)


Detailed instructions on how to test and then claim a bounty are here:

Somebody running (or willing to install and sync-up) bitcoind/bitcoin-qt version 0.3.24
(need to test upgrading from a very old version of Bitcoin)

In progress...

Btw, don't 0.3.24 support timestamps in the logfile?

I think you're right, 0.3.24 does not support -logtimestamps. If I recall correctly, it does log the time at startup; for this particular test, I'm mostly interested in how long the upgrade process takes, so the old version not supporting timestamps isn't a problem.

ok, good.
Btw I'm still downloading the blockchain with 8 connections...

I have a virtual xp machine with 0.3.24 wallet backups, provided I can remember the password I can take #1 and #2 on wallets not touched since Nov 2011. Any preference for what blockchain height at "migration" would reveal zee boogs. New sync or loadblocks the old blockchain?

Edit: doing full 0.3.24 sync on XP/FAT32 datadir to current height, then upgrade (per instructions). Local/SSD, so shouldn't take tooo long.

[deepceleron]

I thought I'd try a really old upgrade, but it looks like Bitcoin never worked on Win95...

[burger]

I'm still downloading the blockchain... =/ it's very slow now.

[deepceleron]

Completed both 0.3.24 and FAT32 at the same time....
Links to debug logs, screenshots, etc in "code" below.

Conclusions:
1. on FAT32, full blockchain re-download as expected (6 hours), for a 12GB datadir
2. Reversion to 0.3.24 does not work, fails on unacceptable/unsupported log file version errors,
3. 0.8.0 salvaged a questionable wallet automatically, but continued to nag with wallet warnings,
4. 0.8.0-qt immediately closes when asked to close, but leaves a termination error in the logs.

I also tried to follow the "forking" instructions but don't understand what is being asked.

Code:

0.8 blockchain data 0.3.24 upgrade test report + FAT32
--------
A. OS environment:

Windows XP SP3 x86, all updates, Virtualbox 4.2.6 64 bit

Drive structure: C: NTFS (previous Bitcoin dir & datadir renamed) (rotating HDD)
E: FAT32 (blank for use as datadir) (physical drive SSD)
command line: bitcoin.exe -datadir=E:\datadir

bitcoin.exe 0.3.24 Windows installer (bitcoin-0.3.24-win32-setup)
local network --connect to Bitcoin 0.7.2


B. Initial environment setup notes:

1. crashed my virtual machine while downloading from scratch, creating a corrupted wallet.dat
with some bitcoins that were sent to it. Could not get bitcoin started again
with that wallet without db.log errors and crashing. Tada, a corrupted wallet for later testing.

2. Wiped datadir, seeded datadir with 206000 height detached blockchain dat/idx 
(created with 0.7.1, from imported mkbootstrap blockchain)

3. Downloaded blocks 206001-215964 - 1:50-7:36 hours 

4. Shutdown of Bitcoin 0.3.24 takes ~3 minutes with no indication of execution
::rename of debug.log: "debug.log.0.3.24"; blank db.log

6. Replaced blank wallet with "corrupted" wallet, now appears to run fine.
Launched bitcoin with rescan to correct wallet balance.
::rename of debug.log: "debug.log.0.3.24.newwallet.rescan"

C. Upgrade to 0.8.0 

1. Copied test bitcoin-qt.exe to program files alongside bitcoin.exe install

2. First instantiation, Bitcoin-qt finds the problems with the wallet:

Warning: wallet.dat corrupt, data salvaged! Original wallet saved as .bak
http://we.lovebitco.in/img/xp1-wallet.dat-corrupt.png

3. Bitcoin displays an error with the wallet.dat that will never go away,
occurs after every subsequent launch of bitcoin-qt:

Warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction
data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect

http://we.lovebitco.in/img/xp2-walleterror.png

4. analysis of db.log shows:

Program version 4.8 doesn't match environment version 4.7
Page 14: unreferenced page
Page 14: totally zeroed page (...repeated until page 33...)
wallet.dat: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed

5. Block re-download

Expected linking error for FAT32:

2013-01-10T09:32:07 Error hardlinking blk0001.dat : boost::filesystem::create_hard_link: Incorrect function: "E:\datadir\blk0001.dat", "E:\datadir\blocks\blk00000.dat"

(why can't we attempt to import those blocks instead of hitting the network)

Blockchain download from local client: 9:30-15:05 hours

6. Sent coins out of wallet successfully; transaction added to wallet, although
wallet.dat warning continues after a close and restart of Bitcoin.
::rename of debug.log: "debug.log.after0.8.0up";
::rename of db.log   : "db.log.after0.8.0.up"


D. Downgrade to 0.3.24: Complete failure

Closing bitcoin-qt.exe 0.8.0 (and verifying task complete), then
launching 0.3.24 gives a series of dire obfuscated errors followed by program
termination:
EXCEPTION: 22DbRunRecoveryException; DbEnv::open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, ...

http://we.lovebitco.in/img/xp3-afterdowngrade.png
http://we.lovebitco.in/img/xp4-afterdowngrade.png
http://we.lovebitco.in/img/xp5-afterdowngrade.png

::rename of debug.log: "debug.log.0.3.24.downgrade";
::rename of db.log   : "db.log.0.3.24.downgrade"


E. Relaunch of 0.8.0: still working 
1. corrupt wallet warnings remain (perhaps it should quit warning if it salvaged wallet)
2. replacing wallet.dat with blank wallet from 0.3.24: no errors.

I hope you got all the data you needed from the tests.

https://github.com/gavinandresen/QA/blob/master/HardLinksUpgrade.md isn't updated with claimed as the top post has here.

[Gavin Andresen]

Oops, sorry, update the github page, all the bounties are claimed.

Thanks to everybody who tested, you were extremely helpful.

What did you think about the bounty amounts:  too much?  too little?  just right?

[zvs]

whatever that is that's on the git right now is an absolute mess

block 216948 is too big, and thus corrupt, apparently

[deepceleron]

I filed a gitbug about the repeated wallet warnings after salvaging based on the testing above.

Was reversion to an older version such as 0.3.24 expected to work? I can spend some time testing if a 0.8.0 branch (unencrypted) wallet can be used with 0.3.24, with or without walletupgrade, if the datadir is otherwise cleaned, find out which log file 0.3.24 complains about, etc.

Is there a later 0.8.0 target Win32 pre-build? The bluematt repository seems down.
