Description:
We have a 3-node MySQL group replication set up in K8s. After all the respective setups, during the cloning process from the primary node to rebuild or add a secondary node to the cluster, the process is automatically closing with the following error:
ERROR 1026 (HY000): Error writing file ‘./#innodb_redo.#clone/#ib_redo0’ (errno: 22 - Invalid argument)
This occurs randomly, for example, while the primary is accepting writes and when it’s idle. Sometimes, the cloning operation succeeds without any error. Are there any specific factors causing this error and leading to the cloning failure?
Mysql version: 8.0.34-26
I’ve already checked the disk and read-only part; there was enough disk space available with disk being writable. I’ve noticed that it randomly fails with the above error, but after recreating the cluster, it works fine. However, the same issue reoccurs sometimes.
While researching online, I found some issues related to this with respect to O_DIRECT. However, in my case, the issue is only happening with innodb_flush_method O_DIRECT(we are using this). Link: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=97755
Could you please let us know if there is any potential issue associated with innodb_flush_method O_DIRECT for this error, or if it might be happening due to something else?
If you see, the same command failed with the error and retrying after sometime succeed.
Failure:
mysql> CLONE INSTANCE FROM ‘donor_clone_user’@‘’:3306 IDENTIFIED BY ‘xxxxxxx’;
ERROR 1026 (HY000): Error writing file ‘./#innodb_redo.#clone/#ib_redo0’ (errno: 22 - Invalid argument)
Retrying after a few seconds without any changes:
Succeed:
mysql> CLONE INSTANCE FROM ‘donor_clone_user’@‘’:3306 IDENTIFIED BY ‘xxxxxxx’;
ERROR 3707 (HY000): Restart server failed (mysqld is not managed by supervisor process).
mysql> command terminated with exit code 137

How to repeat:
When attempting to rebuild a secondary node (POD) in MySQL group replication from either the primary or secondary using the clone plugin feature, it randomly fails with the following error(details in Description section). Sometimes, after a few retries, it works.
