We did not see this on 5.0.19, with 5.0.24 our backup jobs lock the
tables for selects
the backup takes 3 hours, so the site is down the whole time
I'm using this backup line
mysqldump -d -f --quote-names --skip-add-locks database > outfile
mysqldump -t -f --skip-add-locks database > outfile
when I kill the dump, I see it trying to issue an unlock tables sql and
erroring due to the connection being killed
is this not the proper way to keep it from locking any table? All we do
is selects, there are no inserts/replaces/updates going on, during a backup
