xtrabackup error executing old backup script

Hello,

I’ve just started having a problem with a backup script, using xtrabackup, we have been using for several years. It exits after a few seconds with the following output…


Forcing tar instead of tar4ibd

I did make a monitor modification to my /etc/my.cnf to resolve a separate issue but I can;t see it being related. I did however try reverting this but the problem persists. I’ve also tried setting innodb_native_aio = o in /etc/my.cnf to no avail (also innodb_use_native_aio = 0 as documented elsewhere).

Any thoughts?

Fixed with this…

sysctl fs.aio-max-nr=262144
