It is curious and I dont want play around any more on my testmachine.  Later
in the weekend I will jump into the production-server and dump all
the stuff and try to restore the data in a new installed
7.1-environment.

I'll post my success/failure here then.

thnx, peter

when working on an own database things works perfect. However I have a
reproduceable problem on a different database when importing blobs
into a single table while the old blobs still existing (no matter if
using -r or not)

However: the problem is not happening on a new created database, so
maybe there is a problem on my system. 

I will install 7.1 on a different machine and try if I can import all
my data before migrating to 7.1 on a production-server.

When I want to migrate _all_ data from one 7.1 to another 7.1 : does a
brute filecopy do it ?

Thanx a lot for your help,

peter

 Sure :-)

 What do you do before this import?

 pg_dumplo -i (without -r) add *new* LO to DB and update LO oid in some
tab.attr only. The option '-r' remove old LO and import new.

Try:

 pg_dumplo -a -d my_db -s /my_dump/dir

 pg_dump [with relevant options for your DB] > my.dump

 DROP DATABASE my_db;

 CREATE DATABASE my_db;

 psql my_db < my.dump

 pg_dumplo -i -d my_db -s /my_dump/dir
