If I exclude the large tables(>30GB) in the parallel dump it does succeed and normal dump also succeeds. So I am not sure if the network is at fault. Is there any other option that might help to make parallel dump usable for large tables? thanks shanker -----Original Message----- From: Tom Lane [mailto:tgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2015 9:00 AM To: rod@xxxxxx Cc: Shanker Singh; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: parallel dump fails to dump large tables "Raymond O'Donnell" <rod@xxxxxx> writes: > On 14/02/2015 15:42, Shanker Singh wrote: >> Hi, >> I am having problem using parallel pg_dump feature in postgres >> release 9.4.

I'm wondering about SSL renegotiation failures as a possible cause of the disconnect --- that would explain why it only happens on large tables. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
