Jeff, that is indeed the case - the replication thread will "freeze" just like any other thread, and pick up where it left off.
In fact, the statements are still replicated to the slave by the replication thread, stored in the slave's relay-bin file I think. Therefore even though the slave data is not being updated, the slave is in a sense staying current with the master even during the hotcopy (though you would have to wait for all those statements to be applied for the data to be synchronized).

I've got a replication slave db (all MyISAM tables) that I currently back up every night by stopping MySQL, tarballing the table files, then starting MySQL up again. I'd like to use Mysqlhotcopy to do this so that the db can stay up for reads while the backup is being done. Here's my question. While the tables are flushed with read lock, what becomes of all the Insert,Update and delete queries that come in via replication? Will they be applied after the backup is done and the tables unlocked?
