Since you've been running with full_page_writes=off, I suggest you update
to 9.1 by dumping and reloading your data (i.e. pg_dumpall) instead of
via binary upgrades (i.e. pg_upgrade).

That way, you can be sure that your data is consistent (from postgres'
POV anyway) after the upgrade. pg_upgrade OTOH will only notice
inconsistencies in the system tables, since the data files of user tables
and indices are simply copied unchanged.
