We are running Postgres 7.4 on Redhat AS4.
Is this still a problem or has this been resolved on this version of Linux?
It probably works, but if you're worried you should test it directly.
Create a scratch database, load a few GB of data, see if the backup and
restore procedures you are currently using choke.
