    Description

      mariabackup is not able to detect if the operating file system open files limit (ulimit -n) is not sufficient to open all tables.

      The resulting backup is corrupt, as any table that couldn't be opened due to max open files limit being reached, is not saved into the backup.

      The worst part of this is the fact that the tool prints "completed OK" at the end and exits with a zero error status (success). So, backup seems successful but it's actually corrupted and unusable!

      Xtrabackup properly detects the open files limit being reached and aborts.

      InnoDB: 2) If the table is not needed, or you can restore it from a backup,
      InnoDB: then you can remove the .ibd file, and InnoDB will do a normal
      InnoDB: crash recovery and ignore that table.
      InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove
      InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery > 0 in my.cnf
      InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here.
