Hi,

I just saw a pg_upgrade failure on my aio branch [1]. Not sure what caused it
yet. The reason I'm writing in this thread is that I looked at the
regress_log_* for the failure, and found it to be 14.95MiB (which crashed the
browser on my phone...).

https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/5167740683026432/log/src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/log/regress_log_002_pg_upgrade

That seems way beyond reasonable.

regress_log_002_pg_upgrade.log includes all of 002_pg_upgrade_old_node.log and
002_pg_upgrade_new_node.log. The old node's log includes all pg_dump queries.

Followed by many MB of diff due to

=== diff of /Users/admin/pgsql/src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/tmp_test_Q7GQ/dump1.sql and /Users/admin/pgsql/src/bin/pg_upgrade/tmp_check/tmp_test_Q7GQ/dump2.sql
=== stdout ===

Greetings,

Andres Freund
