Thread: pg_upgrade message

pg_upgrade prints something like this:

Restoring user relation files /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/base/35338/37229

But it's not actually "restoring" anything, is it?

Maybe "transferring" would be better?  (Or copying/linking, to be more
precise.)

What an excellent idea; I changed it to say link/copy, with the
attached, applied patch.  The new output is:

    Creating databases in the new cluster                       ok
    Adding support functions to new cluster                     ok
    Restoring database schema to new cluster                    ok
    Removing support functions from new cluster                 ok
-->    Linking user relation files
                                                                ok
    Setting next OID for new cluster                            ok
    Creating script to delete old cluster                       ok
