Well, I think the checksums are going in the item pointers, so there isn't any new storage space --- my guess is that the page version number will control how the backend stores the checksum. Basically the backend will need to read old and new page versions. I don't think this is something pg_migrator can handle cleanly. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
