[HACKERS] pg_upgrade vs. pg_ctl stop -m fast - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

In 9.5, the default pg_ctl stop mode was changed from "smart" to "fast".

In pg_upgrade, there is this code:

void
stop_postmaster(bool fast)
{   ...   exec_prog(SERVER_STOP_LOG_FILE, NULL, !fast,             "\"%s/pg_ctl\" -w -D \"%s\" -o \"%s\" %s stop",
      cluster->bindir, cluster->pgconfig,             cluster->pgopts ? cluster->pgopts : "",             fast ? "-m
fast": "");   ...
 
}

So, when upgrading from 9.5 or later, code that requested a non-fast
shutdown would now always get a fast shutdown.

I think the last line should be changed to something like
             fast ? "-m fast" : "-m smart");
