We normaly did an dump in a pipe then a compress into a second pipe and
then a split (in oracle).
But in my opinion it also should work with pg?
Roughly:
mknod my_pipe1 p
mknod my_pipe2 p
nohup compress < my_pipe1 > my_pipe2 &
nohup split -m 2000 < my_pipe1 &
nohup pg_dump > my_pipe1 &
But please try it out before doing it on a productive system!!!
Especially the restore.
