I think you mean *without*, but yeah, there is no way the --link option is going to take that long. Hard links are awesome. We've upgraded some really big databases, and --link is really, really fast. If you can't use --link (usually because you want to get over the checksum hump), we use something like Bucardo to help out. No need to ever wait a "couple of days" as OP claims. :) What really bites is the analyze afterwards. That's the part that takes too long (yes, --in-stages helps some). Would love to see progress made there. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201607272220 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAleZbGEACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiAngCgmsP0O9rMMmu43RQ6LkQJwMtP IZcAn25UJWNs03q75iIEOVAabKHaBrWV =zdDO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
