Percona Xtrabackup 2.2.x support for MySQL <= 5.6.8 #1

Closed deviantony closed 9 years ago

It seems that there is an issue with the Percona Xtrabackup 2.2.x versions.

The package is currently distributed on Ubuntu via the xtrabackup package, you need to install percona-xtrabackup-21 to use the scripts.

This issue will follow the evolution on 2.2.x support.

There is a bug with the Percona Xtrabackup 2.2.* tool related to the setting _innodb_log_filesize in the configuration file. If the parameter is missing, xtrabackup will use a default hardcoded value based on MySQL >= 5.6.8.

This value differs on MySQL <= 5.6.8, to use xtrabackup with these versions you need to specify the missing setting in the configuration file.

By default, this value is 5M:

[mysqld]
innodb_log_file_size = 5M

I'll keep the issue open until the bug at Percona is fixed.

The bug has been fixed in Xtrabackup 2.2.6 !
