Re: Back to my pg_upgrade stoppage problem

I did manage to get everything working properly yesterday. What I did not first realize is that while pg_upgrade requires both the original server and the new one to be off, if
your original server is the primary in a streaming replication cluster, then the standby(s) must still be running when you start pg_upgrade. The temporary table creation appeared
hung as the primary was waiting on the standby to commit the change, but it wasn't running. After resolving that, I hit another snag where pgpool had a function installed that I
couldn't easily find to remove it. pg_upgrade would fail stating it couldn't find the function's *.so to apply to the new instance. I ended up pulling a pg_dumpall from the
original instance, and manually looked in that to find anything with the name pgpool in it. I then removed those from the Db, and pg_upgrade completed successfully.

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I just needed to think a little harder on what was happening.
