Hello!
Actually I run node with sname and this name never changes. About Mnesia backup problems vs node name it is as I understand widely known thing, and even Erlang docs include an example code in
http://erlang.org/doc/apps/mnesia/Mnesia_chap7.html#backup showing how to change the node name in a backup. We have a variant of this code in our codebase and it is routinely used to run production db backups locally to investigate issues. Generally everything with Mnesia works well for us except for fragmented tables.
My question about backups was asked in the context that we use backups routinely, they are easy to use single files. Normally we handle them with mnesia:backup and mnesia:install_fallback calls. If we switch to an alternative backend, like LevelDB, will it still be the case?
Thanks,
Wojtek
Hi, Wojtek!
I remember your post about this problem. It is sad to hear that it still exists.
Just a wild guess checklist:
1. Are you running your node with -sname or -name options?
2. Does the name of the node change in time?
I have had problems with mnesia backups if the name of the node changes.
Maybe this problem can be related to some node stuff...
