Hi everyone,

when i issued the following command: pg_dump -d mydb -Fc -Z9 -U dbadmin > base_backup.tar
i keep getting warning messages: pg_dump: [custom archiver] WARNING: ftell mismatch with expected position -- ftell used.
Do i have to be worried about that, i.e. can it happen that the backup did not work? Mainly because my db is around 100GB and the tar file was just 4.5GB. I mean, i don't mind such a good compression but with the warning messages i got, i am a little bit confused as to whether it really worked.

Thanks!
Chris
