Database server/storage instability or network instability? There is no doubt that there is something flaky about the networking between the db server and the box(es) trying to do the pg_dump. We have indeed had issues (timeouts, halts, etc) moving large quantities of data across various segments to and from these boxes...like the db server....but how would this effect something like a pg_dump? Would a good stack trace (assuming I want to crash my database again) help here? ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
