Yup, that's still there, see pg_backup_archiver.c in git head: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/bin/pg_dump/pg_backup_archiver.c;h=e29265953d46aa9730eccca41062dfd9b2c45ba3;hb=f1f6737e154f9d00f1565fc08fd7ac677b380822 The reason that message doesn't show up is it's being logged with level=2, and with the "-v" or "--verbose" switch, only messages at level 1 or less get logged. Notice that pg_backup_archiver.c and pg_backup_tar.c use an inconsistent log level for this same message, which might explain where you saw the message previously. If you're using a tar-format backup, you will see the message: pg_restore: restoring large object OID 16388 for each LO in verbose mode. Now, if you're keen on seeing that message for custom-format archives, you could change that "2" to a "1" in the line you posted from pg_backup_archiver.c and recompile, and that should give you the message you're after. Or change this bit in pg_restore.c to assign a 2 instead of a 1: case 'v': /* verbose */ opts->verbose = 1; break; It'd sure be nice to have these programs allow "-vvvv" style switches to signify cranking up the debugLevel, unless I'm missing some other way to do so.
