How big is the dump file? I seem to recall that tar format has a limit on the size of individual members (tables), and maybe an overall size limit as well. Another issue is that I think the members are first built as temp files in /tmp, so the member size is constrained by how much space you have on that filesystem. If that's the story, switching to the "custom" format is the answer. regards, tom lane
