I will just check the return code and exit on error.

Of course:
if ((msg = linkAndUpdateFile(ctx, pageConverter, oldfile, newfile)) !=
NULL)
pg_log(ctx, PG_FATAL,
"error while creating link from %s.%s(%s) to %s.%s(%s):
%s\n",
oldnspname, oldrelname, oldfile, newnspname, newrelname,
newfile, msg);
...
if (pg_link_file(src, dst) == -1)
return strerror(errno);
though you have to delete the new cluster directory and remove the _old
suffixes to get your old cluster back. I don't check before starting
the migration.
