Sec INT:
I upgraded all relays and exits to 0.2.9.8 but the torrc file was then renamed on all of them when the daemon restarted automatically - this meant the torrc file was then recreated as defaut losing all my settings and all relays exits were not working - this hasnt happened in all other upgrades to new versions but was pretty inconvenient when having to go back and replace all torrc files - is this normal?
This should not happen, actually*. It solely depends on your package manager (this is who rewrites your torrc files), so consult its documentation how to deal with config updates. Please drop a hint here if you succeeded!
* This never happened to me on many systems as they have some sort of config management.
