innodb replication

[Edson Noboru Yamada]

Hi, guys

I´m going to set up a innodb database replication, and I have some doubts
about the backing up the master database step.

Normally, I do a "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK", backup the data files (or
use mysqldump), get the current log coordinates with "SHOW MASTER STATUS"
and unlock the tables. Using exactly the same steps work for innodb
databases?

According to some texts, it seems not, but I haven´t found a clear cookbook.


Just doing a "mysqldump --master-data --single-transaction" is enough to
replace the above steps?

Thank you.
