Roger that!  Really, the hard link pg-upgrade option and rsync method
for standbys is pure beauty :-)

We have only the post-analyze and this unlogged data  problem to deal
with.

The warehouse is our only system with any substantial amount of unlogged
data.

Reducing post-analyze delay was solved by me here with our groovy
threaded AnalyzMaTron.  I can get a >5TB system done in about 45 minutes
w/20 threads.

Thanks!
