Hi, Running pg_dump on a FreeBSD 6.1 machine gives me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/data/even]# pg_dump -Ft -f ./my_db-2007-5-16.backup -U user my_db /tmp: write failed, filesystem is full pg_dump: [tar archiver] could not write to tar member (wrote 0, attempted 86) pg_dump: *** aborted because of error [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/data/even]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/aacd0s1g 125G 5.8G 109G 5% /data /dev/aacd0s1e 484M 86K 445M 0% /tmp The database is, when dumped in text format and gzipped, 40 Mb, so I assume that there is enough space on the /tmp drive to store the temp files of the pg_dump. Is that assumption OK? Can I somehow use another partition to store the temporaray files without changing my /tmp mount? TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
