This file is actually optional; its there for redundancy in case the filesystem is not "reliable" when listing a directory. Ie, normally, we list the directory to find the latest segments_N file; but if this is wrong (eg the file system might have stale a cache) then we fallback to reading the segments.gen file.
For example this is sometimes needed for NFS. Likely replication is just skipping it?
