Re: Archiver(custom): could not initialize compression

yeah, it was a bit vague wasn't it. ;)

pg_restore on a 7.1.3 redhat 7.2 system. and using the 'custom' file
format. This was happening in the restoring blob section.

I have multiple instances of the server running on different ports.
5432-5438 and adding more all the time. They all seem to have gotten
corrupted somehow. Vacum runs forever, I tried making a tar.bz2 file of
one of the directories, and even that didn't work. I ran fsck.ext3
-force and the file system showed no errors. As far as I know 2.4
kernels don't have the 2gig size limit. So I'm just trying to find out
what went wrong, and if there is a way I can fix it.

thanx,
-jj-
