What?  I had a cluster over 3TB and it was offline for only 10
minutes doing a major version upgrade using pg_upgrade's --link
option.  Of course, that was with minimal statistics -- just enough
to keep from getting truly stupid plans.  If it takes *days* to run
pg_upgrade on a 1TB cluster either you have an insane number of
database objects or you are not taking advantage of the available
features.
