freezer migration problems (false positive?)

[holiman]

Geth says my sepolia data needs migration (which it shouldn't need, since sepolia isn't even that old)

[user@work go-ethereum]$ geth --sepolia db freezer-migrate

And even after migration, it still complains:

And over and over again...

Hm that's strange. I just tried syncing sepolia but don't get that on startup. Any ideas how I can repro it?

[holiman]

Nope, no idea. If it works for you, it's probably something wonky with my sepolia datadir
