I don't think it's a good idea. Usually upgrading a DB to a new major
version requires some attention anyway, and should not done with any
level of bruteness.
We upgraded several hundred servers from lenny to squeeze automatically,
including their postgres databases :)
Admittedly though the databases are rather small, probably none is
bigger than 1 GB.
or a parameter should be added so that users can specify that they
want a forced shutdown.
That seems okay, but rather redundant. You can always pg_ctlcluster
--force stop the cluster yourself before upgrading. Keeping bug open
to add it to pg_upgradecluster.
I can? AFAIR that didn't work. I can't test it at the moment because I
don't have a VM with postgres 8.3 ready, but the code seems to agree:
error 'specified cluster is not running' unless $info{'running'};
