The problem is that your file is over 2 GB, your OS/libc has a problem opening such big files (using fopen()). Try cat access.dump.tar | pg_restore -d access -Ft -a > I read somewhere that there's a patch for this: > http://dbforums.com/arch/173/2003/1/675653 > > Will this patch fix it? Where do i get it from and how do i apply it? The patch only fixed that "segmentation fault", not the "File too large".
