I did a stupid mistake. I run the final pg_dumpall without switching to single-user-mode first.
With "final" I mean that the dump should be transferred to a different machine. After the dump
the old machine was shut down forever.
My mistake was that I stopped the services, but one process was still alive and this process
inserted to the database after pg_dumpall has started.
I guess I am not the first one who did this stupid mistake.
What do you think? Wouldn't it be polite to add a note about this topic to the docs?
Here are the docs for pg_dumpall: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-pg-dumpall.html
How could the wording look like? I am not a native speaker ....
Or do you have a better/different idea?
Regards,
Thomas Güttler
