Hi,
Running pg_dump on a FreeBSD 6.1 machine gives me:
[root(at)s13(dot)nedstars(dot)nl:/data/even]# pg_dump -Ft -f ./my_db-2007-5-16.backup -U user my_db
/tmp: write failed, filesystem is full
pg_dump: [tar archiver] could not write to tar member (wrote 0,
attempted 86)
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error
[root(at)s13(dot)nedstars(dot)nl:/data/even]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/aacd0s1g 125G 5.8G 109G 5% /data
/dev/aacd0s1e 484M 86K 445M 0% /tmp
The database is, when dumped in text format and gzipped, 40 Mb, so I
assume that there is enough space on the /tmp drive to store the temp
files of the pg_dump.
Is that assumption OK? Can I somehow use another partition to store the
temporaray files without changing my /tmp mount?
TIA
