Uh, you can read how pg_upgrade handles frozen xids in pg_upgrade.c: https://doxygen.postgresql.org/pg__upgrade_8c_source.html#l00543 I am not sure what would have caused such a jump. pg_upgrade brings over the frozen values for each table, and sets the server's frozen counter to match the old one. If you run 'pg_dump --binary-upgrade' you will see the frozen xids being transfered: -- For binary upgrade, set heap's relfrozenxid and relminmxid UPDATE pg_catalog.pg_class SET relfrozenxid = '558', relminmxid = '1' WHERE oid = 'public.test'::pg_catalog.regclass; Is it possible that pg_upgrade used 50M xids while upgrading? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@xxxxxxxxxx> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
