innobackupex-1.5.1 should recognize mariadb database versions

[Swany]

from http://blogs.skysql.com/2011/03/using-xtrabackup-and-incremental.html:

Use of uninitialized value $option_ibbackup_binary in concatenation (.) or string at ./bin/innobackupex-1.5.1 line 2140.
Can't exec "--print-param": No such file or directory at ./bin/innobackupex-1.5.1 line 2141.
innobackupex-1.5.1: fatal error: no 'mysqld' group in MySQL options
innobackupex-1.5.1: fatal error: OR no 'datadir' option in group 'mysqld' in MySQL options

So that's odd, $option_ibbackup_binary isn't being set? It should be set to what xtrabackup (or ibbackup) binary to use. Odd.

The test now runs against MariaDB 5.2/5.3

great! if you can modify the bootstrap.sh script and the build script to compile against the correct version and run tests against the right version, we can look at adding it to our regression system in jenkins

[Daniël van Eeden (dveeden)]

It will now complile against MariaDB 5.3

I wouldn't mind seeing this fix released, I still have problems with the latest 1.6.4 on lenny against mariadb 5.2.10

[p4guru (p4guru)]

Can confirm Walter statement, MariaDB 5.2.10 doesn't work out of the box with CentOS 6.2 64bit and Percona XtraBackup 1.6.4 rev 314

[Vadim Tkachenko (vadim-tk)]

MariaDB is not in the official list of supported databases. The bug is to stay in Wishlist until we decide to change that.

[Colin Charles (ccharles)]

Vadim, from http://www.percona.com/software/percona-xtrabackup/: "XtraBackup makes MySQL hot backups for all versions of Percona Server, MySQL, MariaDB, and Drizzle."

Has this changed in such a way we need to support xtrabackup in MariaDB?

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PXB-973
