+Checksums can be disabled with the new initdb option --no-data-checksums.
+pg_upgrade requires matching cluster checksum settings, so this new

-The previous default behavior (checksums disabled) can be obtained using the
-new option --no-data-checksums. Note that pg_upgrade will reject upgrading
-between clusters with different checksum settings, so if the old cluster does
-not have checksums enabled (the previous default), then the new cluster will
-need to be initialized with --no-data-checksums in order to allow pg_upgrade
-to succeed.
