据报道,mysqldump会导致大型数据库出错(1,2,3)。来自MySQL Bugs的解释和解决方法:

This is not really a bug.
mysqldump by default has --lock-tables enabled, which means it tries to lock all tables to
be dumped before starting the dump. And doing LOCK TABLES t1, t2, ... for really big
number of tables will inevitably exhaust all available file descriptors, as LOCK needs all
tables to be opened.
Workarounds: --skip-lock-tables will disable such a locking completely. Alternatively,
--lock-all-tables will make mysqldump to use FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK which locks all
tables in all databases (without opening them). In this case mysqldump will automatically
disable --lock-tables because it makes no sense when --lock-all-tables is used.
