I’ve been doing a bit more investigation and it looks like the FLUSH TABLES FOR EXPORT isn’t flushing to disk.
I monitor the modified time of the .MAD file for a table. If I make a change to the table the modified date doesn’t change. If I do FLUSH TABLES FOR EXPORT the modified time still doesn’t change. If I do a FLUSH TABLES the modified time does change. So adding the FOR EXPORT option seems to stop the data being flushed to disk. Is this expected behaviour? It certainly isn’t how I read the documentation.

It is all done within the same machine and the same instance of MariaDB server. In the full system where I first noticed the problem the copied files are checked with the aria_chk command and the mysqlcheck command and apart from the “zero filling” message are OK. Still the data is missing. It looks like the FLUSH command isn’t flushing all the way to disk.

I am using MariaDB 10.4.12 on Windows server 2019. And all the tables use the Aria engine A simple set of operations that reproduces the problem is… Add some data to a table FLUSH TABLE “table” FOR EXPORT Copy the .FRM, .MAI, .MAD files for the table to a backup folder. UNLOCK TABLES switch to the database in the backup folder and check the contents of the copied table. I doesn’t contain the data just added. So it looks like the data is not being flushed to disk. The documentation suggests this should work, so are there some settings I need to change to make sure the data is flushed before I do the file copies.
