error: failed to read metadata
Hello, everyone -
I inherited a backup system that uses xtrabackup running from a script that is run by cron.
Here's some information about the system we are running on:
[root@<hostname> logs]# uname -srvpio
Linux 2.6.32-
I really don't know very much about xtrabackup
The backup system was working just fine up until just a couple of hours ago.
Something must have changed and I am working to find out what changed.
In the mean time, I thought I would ask if anyone here has seen anything like the following error:
innobackupex: Waiting for ibbackup (pid=9435) to suspend
innobackupex: Suspend file '/data/
xtrabackup: Error: cannot open /data/backups/
xtrabackup: error: failed to read metadata from /data/backups/
innobackupex: Error: ibbackup child process has died at /usr/bin/
I've included the full text of the latest backup session below.
Any hints, ideas, suggestions or leads of any kind would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
/David C.
