Uh, well, I assume that the person has already shut down all db connections, and opened it only for super-users. If the system is not shutting down, that should signal to the user that they have not locked down the system properly. We would not want someone to connect during pg_upgrade processing, and doing -m fast is not going to help with that. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
