Jean-Michel-
I'm sorry- that was a typo in my original post that I should have corrected.
The actual command that I'm using is in fact "pg_dump -Ft prod >
prod.dump.tar"
Here is a snip from the console log on the second machine that I'm using to
diagnose with:
nickf@morgai:~$ pg_dump -Ft alpha > dump.tar
pg_dump: [tar archiver] could not write to tar member (wrote 110, attempted
398)
nickf@morgai:~$
nickf@morgai:~$
nickf@morgai:~$ ls -al dump.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 nickf nickf 1388367872 Jul 21 14:49 dump.tar
nickf@morgai:~$
Note also that the file size is well under 2GB.
Thanks for looking it over.
