title: MYSQLDUMP - disconnecting from localhost
body: <p>I have to export an entire table from a database. It's a bit heavy (more than 10Gb).</p>
  
  <p>Here's the command I use : </p>
  
  <pre><code>mysqldump -u root --password=PASSWORD DATABASE TABLENAME | gzip &gt; FILENAME.sql.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Mysql version is 5.1.53.
  The export stops at around 1.6Gb, with the message:
  "Disconnecting from localhost".</p>
  
  <p>Is there a max_size parameter, or a time_out ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your replies</p>
