Did you restore the relay's secret identity key when reinstalling?
No, that's the part I flubbed.
If you backed up your Linux system, you can restore the key from there.
Linux system was buried somewhere in the cloud
If not, that's fine, you'll just have to wait a little while
for your new relay to build up consensus weight. This might even be a
good thing, as you have forward secrecy (in terms of identity) if your
Linux install was compromised.
Interesting bit about consensus weight. I like the 'forward secrecy'
aspect of just waiting it out.
* More specifically, this is /var/lib/tor in Linux and
/usr/local/lib/tor in OpenBSD by default, IIRC.
Thanks, I'll take note of that for any future migrations.
