openSUSE Recommended Update: xtrabackup: update to 2.0.6 ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2013:0548-1 Rating: low References: #810880 Affected Products: openSUSE 12.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: Update for xtrabackup to version 2.0.6: - bnc#810880: * Individual InnoDB tablespaces with size less than 1MB were extended to 1MB on the backup prepare operation. This led to a large increase in disk usage in cases when there are many small InnoDB tablespaces. * Fixed the issue that caused databases corresponding to inaccessible datadir subdirectories to be ignored by XtraBackup without warning or error messages. This was happening because InnoDB code silently ignored datadir subdirectories it could not open. * Under some circumstances XtraBackup could fail to copy a tablespace with a high --parallel option value and a low innodb_open_files value. * Fixed a regression that caused individual partition backups to fail when used with --include option in innobackupex or the --tables option in xtrabackup. * innobackupex didn’t add the file-per-table setting for table-independent backups. Fixed by making XtraBackup auto-enable innodb_file_per_table when the --export option is used. * Under some circumstances XtraBackup could fail on a backup prepare with innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT. * innobackupex did not pass the --tmpdir option to the xtrabackup binary resulting in the server’s tmpdir always being used for temporary files. * XtraBackup has improved the error reporting for unrecognized server versions. * innobackupex would fail when --no-lock and --rsync were used in conjunction. * Fix a regression that caused xtrabackup_pid file to remain in the temporary dir after execution. * Unnecessary debug messages have been removed from the XtraBackup output Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Recommended Update use YaST online_update.
