Database upgrades can also take a while if your database is large. Definitely recommend backing up prior to upgrade as well as running slurmdbd -Dvvvvv and not the systemd daemon as if the upgrade takes a long time it will kill it preemptively due to unresponsiveness which will create all sorts of problems.
+lots to this - it's our SOP when doing upgrades as it takes hours to do so on a busy system that's been around for a while.
We also take routine backups and then when we're looking to do an upgrade I'll use one of those on a test system to see how it goes.
