>> Bruce, one other option if you are low on diskspace is using ssh to pipe the file to another server.

But wait. I recall that I changed the password yesterday. Ok, so we are back to the error that relates to the lack of disk space. So, I guess that other technique will put the sqldump file into the users home folder on that other server. Interestingly, it isn't the directory or partition that holds the mysql files that is nearly full, it is the /usr and the /tmp. The latter, even when I recursively delete everything is still reporting as full. So, my curiosity is whether or not, for the purpose of piping it through to another server, it still needs disk space from one of those partitions. I'm not sure otherwise, why it reports not enough disk space when the /home partition has over 100GB free. Maybe it needs space in the /tmp directory. I'll see if I get the same error trying to pipe it through to another server.
