Hi -

I've had no problem upgrading copies our qa databases (which are
backed up and restored with pg_dump/pg_restore)  but have run into the
same problem each time I try to upgrade a copy of our production
database (backed up and restored via PITR).  After verifying a
successful restore and vacuum analyze, I ran a successful pg_upgrade
check run with:

pg_upgrade -b /usr/local/pgsql-8.4.2/bin -B
/usr/local/pgsql-9.1.0/bin -c -d /data/pgsql/prod-84 -D
/data/pgsql/prod-91 -G /home/postgres/pg_upgrade_prod.check.debug -k
-l /home/postgres/pg_upgrade_prod.check.log -p 5435 -P 5436 -v

Then when I ran the actual pg_upgrade:

pg_upgrade -b /usr/local/pgsql-8.4.2/bin -B
/usr/local/pgsql-9.1.0/bin -d /data/pgsql/prod-84 -D
/data/pgsql/prod-91 -G /home/postgres/pg_upgrade_prod.debug -k -l
/home/postgres/pg_upgrade_prod.log -p 5435 -P 5436 -v

It fails at this stage:

Restoring user relation files
linking /data/pgsql/prod-84/base/11564/2613 to
/data/pgsql/prod-91/base/12698/12570
linking /data/pgsql/prod-84/base/11564/2683 to
/data/pgsql/prod-91/base/12698/12572
Mismatch of relation names: database "prod1", old rel
pg_toast.pg_toast_54542379, new rel pg_toast.pg_toast_16735
Failure, exiting

These are the log files generated:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 postgres postgres  75413 Sep 27 14:12 pg_upgrade_prod.log

I don't see any helpful (to me) explanation within them, but after
some searching ran across this comment in the relevant section of
source:

00059 /*
00060 * In pre-8.4, TOAST table names change during
CLUSTER; in >= 8.4
00061 * TOAST relation names always use heap table oids,
hence we cannot
00062 * check relation names when upgrading from pre-8.4.
00063 */

At this point I still don't understand the underlying issue. Our
databases were migrated in place (linked) with pg_migrator from 8.3 to
8.4 could that be the cause or related? Where would you recommend I
look to discover a cause and hopefully a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Jamie
