Mysqlhotcopy fails for some targets
Last modified: 2013-07-02 23:07:34 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041207 Description of problem: If the target filesystem (e.g. FAT32) doesn't support modification times, mysqlhotcopy fails, since $cp.= " -p" if $^O =~ m/^(solaris|linux|freebsd|darwin)$/; will fail. It should try to use the -p flag, but have a fall back if it fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mysql-4.1.14-1.FC4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mysqlhotcopy to a target FAT32 filesystem, e.g. a windows formatted floppy 2. 3. Actual Results: Files failed to copy Expected Results: Files should have copied Additional info: Works OK if the target is ext2, and it works OK if you remove the bogus line: $cp.= " -p" if $^O =~ m/^(solaris|linux|freebsd|darwin)$/; However that is only a workaround, since -p shoudl be used *where available*.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
