We have finally found out why this happens, it's probably a slight issue in argument handling in pg_upgrade. When we runthe upgrade command in this form: /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin -B /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin -d /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main/-D /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/ -O "-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf"-o "-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf" Cluster startup fails on could not connect to new postmaster started with the command: "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_ctl" -w -l "pg_upgrade_server.log" -D "/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/" -o "-p 50432 -b -cautovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age=2000000000 -c synchronous_commit=off -c fsync=off -c full_page_writes=off-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf-c listen_addresses='' -c unix_socket_permissions=0700 -c unix_socket_directories='/var/lib/postgresql'"start Failure, exiting When we issue the upgrade command with additional spaces before config_file options (both -O and -o), all works as expectedand upgrade works flawlessly. /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_upgrade -b /usr/lib/postgresql/9.2/bin -B /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin -d /var/lib/postgresql/9.2/main/-D /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/ -O " -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf"-o " -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.2/main/postgresql.conf" I am pretty sure that the command without space worked before and now it doesn't, we haven't changed our upgrade guide formonths.

I have managed another clean environment, so we will try the same process with the same configurationagain and I'll let you know.

Unfortunately, I don't have the logs anymore, but the problem wasthat pg_upgrade refused to start cluster with an error that went like 'parameter "full_page_writes" requires a Booleanvalue'. The problem was that the startup command had a typo in it and contained '-c full_page_writes=off-c anotherparameter...'(Notice no space after =off). > > I think the pg_upgrade script worked when we were upgrading from 9.2 to 9.3.4, upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3.5 does not workanymore.

Unfortunately due to internal policy I can't test any patches in our environment, but this shouldbe easily reproducible on a clean debian box. It's not reproducible on a clean Debian box. Do you have full_page_writes mentioned in /etc/postgresql/9.2/main/pg_ctl.conf or the like? Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
