Re: Upgrade 9.2 to 9.6 without modifying the location of the tablespaces

[Erik Serrano <eserranos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much Bruce, I update the binary and the data in this way:

bash# /usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/pg_upgrade --old-datadir /var/lib/pgsql/data/ --new-datadir /var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data/ --old-bindir /usr/bin/ --new-bindir /usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/




And in that I would like to know if it is essential to move the data?. Remember that I do not have space on the disks to make a tablespaces move

thank u  Bruce

Just move the tablespaces before or after the upgrade:

There is no way to move them during the upgrade.
