A regular backup creates the files in this order:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 63 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard7
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 159 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 135 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 178 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 210 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard11
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 218 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard9
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 180 Jun 27 09:46 snapshot.shard2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 164 Jun 27 09:47 snapshot.shard5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 252 Jun 27 09:47 snapshot.shard6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 103 Jun 27 09:47 snapshot.shard12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 135 Jun 27 09:47 snapshot.shard4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 119 Jun 27 09:47 snapshot.shard10
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4 Jun 27 09:47 zk_backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185 Jun 27 09:47 backup.properties
While an async backup creates files in this order:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 15 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 15 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard9
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 62 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 37 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard7
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 75 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 70 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 15 Jun 27 09:49 snapshot.shard4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 15 Jun 27 09:50 snapshot.shard11
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 127 Jun 27 09:50 snapshot.shard1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 116 Jun 27 09:50 snapshot.shard12
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4 Jun 27 09:50 zk_backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 185 Jun 27 09:50 backup.properties
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 25 Jun 27 09:51 snapshot.shard10
shard10 is much larger than the other shards.

Has anyone seen this bug, or knows a workaround?
