--slave-info --no-lock --safe-slave-backup --rsync

Registered by Ryan Huddleston

For come users it's not possible to run "FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK" even on a slave server. To avoid this another option is to use --slave-info --no-lock --safe-slave-backup when only using InnoDB tables. For customers with thousands of tables the time taken just to backup the frm files can stop replication for an unacceptable duration. To improve this situation the --rsync option should rsync the frm files once prior to stopping replication

Whiteboard

This is essentially a duplicate of bug #1182726. With the fix for that bug, --slave-info --no-lock --safe-slave-backup will only stop the SQL thread for a short period of time to get the slave info _after_ MyISAM/frm files have been copied.
