OK, so the problem seems to be that rewriteVisibilitymap can get called with errno already set to a nonzero value. It never clears it, and then fails at the end despite that no error has actually occurred. Just setting it to 0 at the top of the function seems to be correct thing to do. Or does it need to save the old value and restore it? But now when I want to do the upgrade faster, I run into this: "This utility cannot upgrade from PostgreSQL version from 9.5 or before to 9.6 or later with link mode." Is this really an acceptable a tradeoff? Surely we can arrange to link everything else and rewrite just the _vm, which is a tiny portion of the data directory. I don't think that -k promises to link everything it possibly can.
