Re: pg_dumpall and output formats?

*pg_dumpall* doesn't support large objects

pg_dumpall [-c | --clean] [-g | --globals-only] [-h host] [-p port] [-U
username] [-W]

But note a limitation: it cannot dump "large objects", since pg_dump
cannot dump such objects into text files. If you have databases
containing large objects, they should be dumped using one of pg_dump's
non-text output modes.

You'll need to dump that db explicitly with pg_dump.
