I bumped into the good-old 100-byte limit of the (v7?) tar format on which pg_basebackup is depending. It is unlikely in the real world but I think it is quite common in developping environment. The tablespace directory path in my dev environment was 110 chacters-long. As small as 10 bytes but it's quite annoying to chip off that number of bytes from the path.. regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
