Jean-Michel-

I'm sorry- that was a typo in my original post that I should have corrected.
The actual command that I'm using is in fact "pg_dump -Ft prod >
prod.dump.tar"

Here is a snip from the console log on the second machine that I'm using to
diagnose with:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pg_dump -Ft alpha > dump.tar
pg_dump: [tar archiver] could not write to tar member (wrote 110, attempted
398)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -al dump.tar
-rw-r--r--    1 nickf    nickf    1388367872 Jul 21 14:49 dump.tar
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$

Note also that the file size is well under 2GB.

Thanks for looking it over.

-Nick
