The code doing this stops everything talking to the database (Yes, I know there could be someone fiddling remotely in a shell, but this is very unlikely). Even tables which are never written to cause this error
So if I'm careful, is there a way to make this work without stopping the server?
I'd expect FLUSH TABLES ... FOR EXPORT to work.
What exactly are you getting? Can you perhaps create a test case? Or just report a bug at jira.mariadb.org?
It looks like I need to run aria_chk -z every time before I do the copy. Is that expected? I guess if something has been "freed" in the table the free block needs to be zero filled, presumably for security reasons. For my application I don't care, so I'm wondering if there is an option to avoid this. Thanks for your help.
