Hi. I am running postgresql 7.1 on Red Hat Linux, kernel build 2.4.2-2. I am in the process of updating postresql to the latest version.
When I dump my database using all the compressions tricks in: http://www.us.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/backup.html#BACKUP-DUMP-LARGE my dump file is still over 2gigs and thus the dump fails. We have a large amount of BLOB data in the database. I am wondering: will cat filename* | psql dbname work if my dump file has large binary objects in it? If not, does anyone have experience getting Red Hat to deal with large files. I can find no documentation that deals with large files for the kernel build have. Thanks.
