Re: Pg_Dumpall error?

<p>Actually I think I may be able to answer my own question.  I think my sysAdmin added something to the Linux box and
causedthe problem. I started to get swap errors with error messages about system drive out of space.  This shouldn't be
aproblem since there's only 6gigs out of 90+gigs of space on the thing.  I also noticed that if I ran it a few times, I
gotdifferent numbers in the error message:  could not write to output file (X != 97).<p>So while the error message
wasn'ttotally apparent, it made sense after I realized the space problem.<p>><br />><br />>Patrick Hatcher<br
