title: PostgreSQL 9.0.13 doing a pg_restore but no evidence that disk space is being used
body: <p>I'm trying to restore a pg_dump taken with this command from another server.</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo -u postgres pg_dump --verbose --format=custom --file=pg-backup.sql -U postgres salesDB
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After I copied over the pg-backup.sql file I'm trying to restore with this command</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo -u postgres pg_restore --verbose --jobs=`nproc` -f pg-backup.sql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The pg-backup.sql file is 13GB.
  The pg-restore has been running for 4 hours, scrolling data up my screen the whole time. No errors.</p>
  
  <p>But when I execute this statement from a psql session  </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_database_size('salesDB'));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get 5377 kB  in size.  WHAT?  It should at least be 1GB by now.
  I'm totally lost.  All this data is scrolling up my screen and I can't prove that it is going anywhere. No disk usage.</p>
  
  <p>Help</p>
