Hi, I'm trying to upgrade a 8.4 DB (from Debian packages on Debian Lenny) to 9.3 (installation from source) with pg_upgrade. But he doesn't launch the new postmaster. Any ideas? postgres@SPV:~$ /opt/nova/current/nova/parts/pg93/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin -B /opt/nova/current/nova/parts/pg93/bin/ -d /srv/postgresql/8.4/main/ -D /srv/postgresql/9.3/main --check Performing Consistency Checks ----------------------------- Checking cluster versions ok Checking database user is a superuser ok Checking for prepared transactions ok Checking for reg* system OID user data types ok Checking for contrib/isn with bigint-passing mismatch ok Checking for large objects ok Checking for presence of required libraries ok Checking database user is a superuser ok Checking for prepared transactions ok *Clusters are compatible* postgres@SPV:/tmp$ /opt/nova/current/nova/parts/pg93/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin -B /opt/nova/current/nova/parts/pg93/bin -d /srv/postgresql/8.4/main/ -D /srv/postgresql/9.3/main Performing Consistency Checks ----------------------------- Checking cluster versions ok Checking database user is a superuser ok Checking for prepared transactions ok Checking for reg* system OID user data types ok Checking for contrib/isn with bigint-passing mismatch ok Checking for large objects ok Creating dump of global objects *failure* Consult the last few lines of "pg_upgrade_utility.log" for the probable cause of the failure.
