Hi, I don't know if this is a known problem, or something I'm doing wrong, but pg_restore -j tends to sometimes mix lines, or even completely drop some. Here is an example (it's a -j12 run): pg_restore: pg_restore: restoring data for table "edw_iu_paglac_axe1_kpi_lac_month_bh" restoring data for table "edw_iu_paglac_axe1_kpi_lac_month" This is one case when nothing is lost, messages only get mixed. Sometimes, entire lines disappear (a table's data is restored, but I don't get the 'restoring' or 'finished' message lines). This is on Linux, so looking at pg_restore's code, I read that workers are forked and printing all on the same file descriptor without locking, so I understand that messages are mixed like this example. I couldn't find any explanation to the dropped messages though. Anyway, I don't know if this is a known problem. I searched the mailing list with no success. I can provide a full log of a complete restore, without and with -j.
