Huh? What we'd be checking is the LOBLKSIZE compiled into pg_upgrade versus that stored into pg_control by the new postmaster. If those are different, then pg_upgrade didn't come from the same build as the new postmaster, which is already a pretty hazardous situation (especially if the user is fooling with low-level stuff like this). regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
