Public bug reported: When I do a
innobackupex --user=backupuser --password=<password> --stream=xbstream --tmpdir=/mnt/lv1/tmp /doesntneedtoexist | ssh [email protected] "xbstream -x -C /backups/<dir>/base -<year-month-day>/" on a large database (5TB in my case), the OS disk fills up before the backup finishes. xtrabackup 2.0.3 seems to store files in /tmp before streaming them over to the backup location near the end of the process. I found the culprit with sudo lsof | grep '(deleted)' which I'm pretty sure was a giant ibdata1. So --tmpdir= doesn't seem to work for the most important, largest files. I had to symlink /tmp to my /mnt/lv1/tmp so I could actually complete the backup. It does seem to change the directory for backup-my.cnf ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: stream tmpdir ** Project changed: percona-xtrabackup => ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086101 Title: --tmpdir= should change the tmp directory for streaming all files, not just for backup-my.cnf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1086101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
