Bug Description

With a my.cnf such as the following (mysql 5.1.42 on a rhel5 64-bit system):

/etc/my.cnf:
[mysqld]
...
innodb=force
...

Xtrabackup fails with the following error:

# xtrabackup --backup --target-dir=/root/foo/
xtrabackup: ambiguous option '--innodb=force' (innodb_adaptive_hash_index, innodb_open_files)

innodb=force is, of course, new in 5.1.36+ (or thereabouts). xtrabackup was compiled against stock 5.1.42 from dev.mysql.com using the patch against the innodb_plugin.

Workaround: use loose-innodb=force, but it would be nice to have this fixed. :)

Guys,

This is set to milestone 1.3.1 with 1.5 already out.
The bug still exists and it is very annoying as using innodb=force is a good method to avoid getting MySQL started with Innodb engine available as it can happen in some cases.

Linked a branch that has an initial patch to allow --innodb=<value> against xb2.1, since this still seems to be an issue.
