  1. You are a life saver my friend.

  2. Malpass, Thanks very much for posting this. Saved me a couple of hours.

  3. Thanks for that Image!Unfortunately, the partition size seems to be to small to iomprt the- mbdump.tar.bz2- mbdump-derived.tar.bz2- mbdump-artistrelation.tar.bz2- mbdump-stats.tar.bz2After 2 hours of iomprting, I get this error:psql://home/mbserver/svn/mb_server/admin/sql/CreateFKConstraints.sql:542: ERROR: could not write to hash-join temporary file: No space left on device.Any idea, how to solve this?

    1. Sounds like you ran out of space on your partition. Make sure you have enough space using df -h before you start.
