Re: Dump & restore in directory format and permissions are largely lost?

It looks like the dump, then is creating an insufficient number of ACL
statements. Running

pg_restore -Fd -l db.full.dump/ | grep ACL | grep webaccess

Shows nothing, though I use this role on many schemas and relations.

Is there anything about this dump statement that would prevent some ACL
lines from being generated?

time pg_dump \
--verbose \
--dbname=db \
--blobs \
--jobs=8 \
--format=directory \
--file=db.full.dump

Is there a way to run pg_dump to spit out all ACL lines w/o having to do
the full dump?
