Bug Description
Some of my higher traffic DB's are split across multiple disks or luns and symlinked into /data/mysql/$DB:
Server A Source:
vol1 504G 74G 405G 16% /data
vol2 252G 133G 107G 56% /data2
200+ GB of table space.
Upon recovery, it only grabs physical table spaces.
Server B Destination:
vol 1 512G 74G 413G 16% /data
Can Xtrabackup be made to follow symlinks correctly? On the receiving end my command looked like nc -l 5000 | tar xvfih - ... -h according to the man page "dump[s] the files they point to" ... I tried it with and without -h and got the same option, so probably needs to be implemented from the source tar command as well.
Thanks in advance!

that should be "... with and without -h and got the same RESULT... "
