Re: pg_upgrade

Old is 8.4, new is 9.2.  I am not supplying an but the minimum options and --check succeeds.  My pg_ctl fails when run by hand with -w (although the database does start) so I know that's the issue.

When I run pg_upgrade, it tries to start the old cluster with the -w flag, which waits a while and declares failure, even though it starts the server.  If I start/stop without -w everything is great. 

Can I tell pg_upgrade not to use that flag, or is there a reason it is not working that I should look into?

Which PostgreSQL version is the old cluster, and which version is the new cluster? What options are you supplying to pg_upgrade, and what output are you getting?
