Installing/Upgrading PostgreSQL 9.1.6 to 9.3 known bugs?

From
Date:
1.) During our prior upgrade process we used pg_upgrade to move from pg 8.4.3 to 9.1.6 using the hard links install option, we also have our data spread across disk storage mediums; fiber, nas. Are there any known issues, bugs with using pg_upgrade to move from 9.1.6 to pg 9.3?

2.) We also have to stand up a fresh install of pg 9.3 with postgis 2.1 and restore the data from a 9.1.6 dump. Are there any known issues, bugs with using pg_dump or pg_dumpall and then pg_restore to get this done?


thanks

having multiple tablespaces on different mount points complicates
things.   I'm not sure how or if pg_upgrade handles that.

pg_upgrade is fine with that.  The old/new tablespaces stay in the same
mount point as just per-version subdirectories.
