There was a config error on boot

Hello,

I have recently upgraded from 1.3 to 1.4.1. The upgrade went well, although it threw some config error, but everything works fine. It even converted properly the bgp config which I was worried about.

Every time I enter in config mode, this message pops up:

“WARNING: There was a config error on boot: saving the configuration now could overwrite data.
You may want to check and reload the boot config”

I did try to check the main differences between the config but since i commit and save a few times since, there is none. However, the warning message still pops up.

vyos@xxxx# save /tmp/config.boot
[edit]
vyos@xxxx# exit
exit
vyos@xxxx:~$ diff /config/config.boot /tmp/config.boot

sudo echo '0' > /tmp/vyos-config-status
This will stop that message.

Magic… thank you very much!

So is it a bug or a feature that it was complaining about configdiffs?

Wouldnt a reboot fix the issue instead of manipulating variables (as in lets ignore this error)?

Or is this a known issue when going 1.3 → 1.4.1 ?
