Creation of xattr for FSTs without FMD Directories

For the migration of Kolkata EOS i.e. Citrine to Dioposide and CentOS 7x to AlmaLinux 9x,
we took backup of EOS-mgm, EOS-qdb and EOS-slave but somehow we missed to take backup of /var/eos/md/fmd.00XX.LevelDB directories of FSTs. All the FST’s Disks are intact in the FST servers with the (raw) data.

Now we can not do LevelDB to xattr conversion via eos-fmd-tool.
Kindly guide is it possible to directly create xattr for the FSTs older files existing on FST disks. (without /var/eos/md/fmd.00XX.LevelDB directories).

Hello, Roy.

Even if the md directory in MGM disappears, I know that if I leave it alone, it will download a new md directory from QDB.

By any chance, is the levelDB file not being created in /var/eos/md?
