FWIW, I recently set up a 160GB clone by simply piping from pg_dump over
the network into psql, alleviating the need to dump to disk. In my case,
the server did not have enough space to hold the pg_dump, so I had to
stream it.
pg_dump -Fp your_db | psql -h new_server -U postgres your_new_db
You could also search the archives for caveats and other (and safer) ways
to do this.
