Comment 1 for bug 1382347

I confirm this problem for PXC 5.6.20. When the innodb_log_group_home_dir points to a directory inside innodb_data_home_dir - xtrabackup-v2 SST method fails.

when I remove innodb_log_group_home_dir setting, or point to the same dir as innodb_data_home_dir - all works well.
