Dear Wikimedia ops team,
The most recent enwiki dump now seems to have finished _almost_
successfully, apart from the dumping of the database metadata tables
such as the pages table and the various links tables, almost all of
which have failed.
I wonder if there is any chance someone could give this a kick, and
re-try the dumping of these tables to finish the dump?
Since this seems to have happened several times now, could it be worth
considering automating re-trying in this sort of situation, to improve
dump reliability for the future without needing manual intervention?
Thanks,
Neil
