Well, actually we're ain't gonna do this procedure regularly, but just in case of failure - if it ever happens.
For the moment, I did the dump/restore and it worked, but took almost 1 hour, due to tsearch2 indexes on a table.
Yeah, I thought 64-bit data could be stored on other files than pg_control. So, there's only one way.
Thanks for helping!

Well, it's not so much a matter of how often you have to do it, but what
kind of downtime you can tolerate. Setting up Slony just to move a
cluster from one machine to another is a good amount of extra work, so
if you don't have the uptime requirement it probably doesn't make sense.
