Solves disk space issues on VMs with small system disks but large NFS mounts.
Use case:
- VM has small / partition (e.g., 7.8G with 2.3G used)
- Backup archive on NFS mount (e.g., /u01/dba with 140G free)
- Restore fails: "insufficient disk space: 74.7% used - need at least 4x archive size"
Solution:
- Added --workdir flag to restore cluster command
- Allows specifying alternative extraction directory
- Interactive confirmation required for safety
- Updated error messages with helpful tip
Example:
dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --workdir /u01/dba/restore_tmp --confirm
This is environmental, not a bug. Code working brilliantly! 👨🍳💋
