Comment 7 for bug 1089681

Hi Jeremy,

You need .exp for Percona Server 5.5. For MySQL 5.6 and Percona Server 5.6 you need .cfg, but you still will be able to import even without .cfg. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/tablespace-copying.html :

ALTER TABLE ... IMPORT TABLESPACE does not require a .cfg metadata file to import a tablespace. However, metadata checks are not performed when importing without a .cfg file, and a warning similar to the following will be issued:

Message: InnoDB: IO Read error: (2, No such file or directory) Error opening '.\
test\t.cfg', will attempt to import without schema verification
