RE: pg_dump is filling C: drive up to 100 percent

[Meera Nair <mnair@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Abdul,

 

We do realize that. With tar format, is there a way to customize the path used for temporary local files?

Some way to configure another drive instead of using C:\?

 

Regards,

Meera

External email. Inspect before opening.

 

Try dumping without tar format. https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/52730

Hi team,

 

pg_dump  is filling C:\

 

This is for postgres version 12. Binary directory, data directory are in E:\

I’m redirecting pg_dump output also to E:\, I was taking a tar dump output.

But C:\ is getting filled up . Looks like it is used for some sort of temporary staging.

Is there a way not to use C:\ for this?

 

Regards,

Meera
