Thanks for your patience. I will start a new dump now, this time using the
--revision option to get the size down. The strange thing is that the export
of the repository is about 13GB while the dump file was "only" 10GB.
According to the documentation the dumpfile should have been much bigger.
Still there was no error message in the dumping and the output to the
console claimed to have dumped all 845 revisions.
The new server has about 130GB free space.
This time I will save the error messages I get!
