There is no problem dumping large tables using parallel dump. My script had limit on the file size that was causing parallel dump to abort on large tables. Thanks everyone for their valuable suggestion.
Thanks

I tried dumping the largest table that is having problem using –j1 flag in parallel dump. This time I got error on the console “File size limit exceeded” but the system allows
Unlimited file size. Also the pg_dump without –j flag goes through fine. Do you guys know what’s going on with parallel dump? The system is 64 bit centos(

I tried turning off ssl renegotiation by setting "ssl_renegotiation_limit = 0" in postgresql.conf but it had no effect. The parallel dump still fails on large tables consistently.
Thanks

HI,
Maybe you could try to setup an SSH connection between the two servers, with a keepalive option, and left it open for a long time (at least the duration of your backup), just to test if your ssh connection is still being cut after some time.
That way, you will be sure if the problem is related to SSH or related to Postgresql.
Thanks,
Guillaume

I'm wondering about SSL renegotiation failures as a possible cause of the disconnect --- that would explain why it only happens on large tables.
