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

InnoDB: You can disable Linux Native AIO by setting innodb_native_aio = off in my.cnf

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?
