innobackupex --rsync 报错 Error: can't create file (null)/xtra_MySQL

在使用最新版的innobackupex(2.3.2):

 

innobackupex /backup --rsync --user=xx --password=xxx 备份时报错：

 

Error: can't create file (null)/xtrabackup_rsyncfiles_pass1

网上搜索没有找到答案，于是向官方报告 bug ，发现已经有人汇报了该bug：

Bug Description

 

After latest update xtrabackup to 2.3.2 my backup scripts stop working.

Problem in "--rsync" argument. With it in half of "copying X to Y" xtrabackup exit with error message:

~~

can't create file (null)/xtrabackup rsync files pass1

~~

 

With previous builds all was fine.

Problem command line:

~~

innobackupex --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --user=root --password=`cat /root/passwords/.mysql` --no-timestamp --throttle=40 --rsync /var/backups/separate_disk/mysql/${WEEK_DAY_NUMBER}f 2>&1

~~

 

If remove "--rsync" - all work without errors.

 

P.S. and previous versions uses "root" as default user name. Now it use "mysql" if in command line didn't defined "--user". (Back incompatibility)

Would specifying --tmpdir=/tmp (or other directory) resolve the rsync issue?

yes.

We'll set tmpdir to system/user default when it is not specified.

Changed in percona-xtrabackup:

status:     New → Triaged

importance:     Undecided → High 

 

解决办法：

 

在使用 --rsync 选项时，需要增加 --tmpdir=/tmp 选择，来指定 xtrabackup_rsyncfiles_pass1 临时文件的存储位置：

 

innobackupex /backup/ --rsync --tmpdir=/tmp --user=xxx --password=xxx
