Well, I ended up just using the pg_control file from the running installation. The seemed to work in combination with pg_resetxlog but now the restore is not working because the postmaster has a shutdown timestamp of today's date and the recovery is thinking that it has already recovered past the proper point in time. :( Does anyone know how I can convince the postmaster to believe it was shutdown at approximately the time the pg_dumpall happened?
