Re: Pg_Dumpall error?

<P>Actually I think I may be able to answer my own question. &nbsp;I think my sysAdmin added something to the Linux box and caused the problem. I started to get swap errors with error messages about system drive out of space. &nbsp;This shouldn't be a problem since there's only 6gigs out of 90+gigs of space on the thing. &nbsp;I also noticed that if I ran it a few times, I got different numbers in the error message: &nbsp;could not write to output file (X != 97).</P><P>So while the error message wasn't totally apparent, it made sense after I realized the space problem.</P><P>&gt;<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;Patrick Hatcher<BR></P><P>&gt; <BR>&gt;<FONT SIZE=2><B>&quot;Jim C.
