Hi,
I'm running 8.1.x on FC2 with smp.
The docs claim that pg_dump should allow normal operation of the db with the exception of things like 'VACUUM FULL'.
Last night during backup, I noticed that I could not get a connection, either remotely via jdbc or locally via psql.
Wellperhaps that is inaccurate: 'ps -ef' showed several processes with a status message of "waiting to startup" (or
somethingsimilar; sorry, I was late-night coding and didn't think to write it down).
My installation has three databases in use. The command used to invoke the dump of one of these databases was:
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dump -Fc -b mydatabasename > /back/mydatabasename.dump
I looked through the docs to see if there was some runtime configuration I was missing, but saw nothing.
Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
