Is there something that can be done smarter with this error message? pg_dump: dumping contents of table pages pg_dump: [tar archiver] archive member too large for tar format pg_dump: *** aborted because of error If there's any hard limits (like memory, or RAM) that can be checked before it spends two hours downloading the data, that might be a better experience.. I'd be happy to file a bug.. Thanks!! Mike -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
