Hello,
for some reason pg_upgrade failed on Windows 10 for me, with an error message that one specifc _vm file couldn't be
copied.
When I try to copy that file manually everything works fine.
After running a "vacuum full" on the table in question the upgrade goes through.
One thing I noticed in the --verbose output of pg_upgrade is that the old cluster - despite being a 9.5 one - has the
"pg_controlversion number 942"
Here is the part of the pg_upgrade output:

Failure, exiting
The file in question is 65.536 bytes in size.
I saved all log files and the complete output from the failed run, so if you are interested I can supply them (I ran
pg_upgradewith the --retain option).

Thomas
