The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 3625 Logged by: Brian Barlow Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2.5 Operating system: Windows (XP) Description: pg_dump with -Ft (tar) option Details:
I have been using 8.1.9 and because of desupport I installed 8.2.5. I use the following command in an application: pg_dump -Ft -f ldas_master.tar -n ldas_master ldas_db The command creates the archive file but when pg_restore is used the tables and data are not created. I then attempted to debug by running it on the command line and the message returned : pg_dump: [tar archiver] actual file length (20543) does not match expected (20480) I attempted to list the archive but received the following: pg_dump: [tar archiver] actual file length (20543) does not match expected (20480) Again, I have not had any trouble with the 8.1.9 version using the same commands to dump/restore to/from the archive file. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
