Bug Description
I know that the log archiving documentation is incomplete, but the following statements from http://
"When log archiving is enabled, instead of rotating through log files, XtraDB will create a new one."
It doesn't do log archiving instead of rotating through log files (i.e. normal redo log writing), but it duplicates all redo log writes in a separate set of files in addition to normal redo log writing, creating new files as necessary.
"There will always be one spare log file so that transactions are never stalled at log file rotation."
That was a part of the initial implementation, but does no longer apply.
