The disk containing the backup, however, is on NAS. The NAS is mounted on the server using SMB and the FreeBSD kernel implementation of smbfs (mount_smbfs -I ... /mnt). The kernel smbfs is notoriously outdated and sometimes we get timeouts. However, those timeouts happen randomly and this "out of memory" happens consistently. This time, the server was no longer under heavy load, the log lines are consecutive, there was no activity during the start of the COPY statement and the error. The network is 1Gbps with a single unmanaged 24-port switch. The server has two aggregated links to the switch. I ran pg_restore locally because the server is in another office, connected to mine through a VPN. Now I have arranjed for a PC to be there for me and my next test will be to do the restore using the latest pgadmin.
