I'm not sure that's better - without looking at the documentation, people might confuse segment here with the 1GB split of tables into segments. As pg_dump is a very common and basic user tool, I don't think implementation details like pages/page sizes and blocks should be part of its UX. Can't we just make it a storage size, like '10GB' and then rename it to --table-parallel-threshold or something? I agree it's bikeshedding, but I personally don't like either --max-table-segment-pages or --huge-table-chunk-pages. Michael
