NOTE: not 100% certain this is the exact same bug, but this behavior was detected while trying to duplicate it. Appending note to existing bug per discussion with developer Able to see a similar failure, but *only* under the following conditions: 1) 7 schemas (all identical). Each schema has 100 tables, Tables are 1-100 rows (table1 has 1 row, table 100 has 100 rows) 2) innodb_file_per_table is enabled 3) --parallel=50 passed to xtrabackup. Reducing either the number of schemas or the --parallel value results in a passing test. However, with this command line: ./dbqp.py --default-server-type=mysql --basedir=/mysql-5.5 --xtrabackup-path=/percona-xtrabackup/mysql-5.5/storage/innobase/xtrabackup/xtrabackup_innodb55 --innobackupex-path=/percona-xtrabackup/innobackupex --suite=xtrabackup_basic bug826632_test We see this: 20111101-103351 =============================================================== 20111101-103351 TEST NAME [ RESULT ] TIME (ms) 20111101-103351 =============================================================== 20111101-103351 xtrabackup_basic.bug826632_test [ fail ] 88564 20111101-103351 test_basic1 (bug826632_test.basicTest) ...
