pg_upgrade: start/stop new server after pg_resetwal

bmomjian · bmomjian · commit 5c890645d9c4 · 2017-06-20T13:20:02.000-04:00
When commit 0f33a71 removed the instructions to start/stop the new cluster before running rsync, it was now possible for pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog to leave the final WAL record at wal_level=minimum, preventing upgraded standby servers from reconnecting. This patch fixes that by having pg_upgrade unconditionally start/stop the new cluster after pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog has run. Backpatch through 9.2 since, though the instructions were added in PG 9.5, they worked all the way back to 9.2. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170620171844.GC24975@momjian.us Backpatch-through: 9.2
