Where are stored this information ? in the .vdb file ?
Have you made some change between 1.8.10 and 1.9.8 ?
Because for my X-platform needs, I use a native .vdb file (created on Mac in
the MacOs, created on Win in the Windows OS) and transfer (copy) only the
.dat file across the platform.
With 1.8.10, this worked like a charm. With the 1.9.8 this seems to be
broken (I've not enough time now to test more).
