[erlang-questions] Mnesia cluster across OTP Releases

[Dan Gudmundsson]

Yes should be possible except when I (and Ulf :-) mess things up, which we
did in mnesia-4.4.19.
In which mnesia couldn't talk to older versions.

I don't think that is not your problem here:
You have two different versions of the schema content here:
old:  {version,{{4,0},{'ejabberd@REDACTED',{1355,182745,138103}}
new: {version,{{5,0},{'ejabberd@REDACTED',{1355,182745,345805}}

Mnesia will not allow them to be merged, you have done something with the
table def before the merge.
