Hi,

I am trying to run nightly full backups using the latest innobackup ex. I have encoutnered a problem whereby after all tables have been backed up and copied to the backup file, I encounter an infinite loop of:


>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)>> log scanned up to (14051476102)


I have left this running for over 24 hours but it won't finish. CPU usage is at 0% during this time. 'ls -lh' shows the backup file has not been updated since about 5 minutes after the backup started.

This is the command line I am running:


/usr/bin/innobackupex \--compress \--safe-slave-backup \--defaults-file=/data/cred/cred.cnf \--extra-lsndir=/vol/tmp \--stream=xbstream \$folder/$fn > $folder/$fn


if I remove the --stream=xbstream then it works fine. Switching from xbstream to tar does not work either.

Any idea what's going on?
