Package: mysql-server-5.0
Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When upgrading the mysql server it stopped like this:
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.51a-24+lenny1) ...
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
stracing this process:
/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.0.postinst configure 5.0.51a-24
showed that it blocked on a read.
The logs suggested that the server was up and running, however, the init script
gave up to early. Since the databases are several GB in size it might mean
that this is somehow related to bug #352070 that the wait time is insufficient.
I've edited the init file to this:
else
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &
# 6s was reported in #352070 to be too few when using ndbcluster
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30; do
sleep 3
if mysqld_status check_alive nowarn ; then break; fi
log_progress_msg "."
and then it worked fine (but of course this is quite extreme, given that I
trippled the sleep time.
What do you think?
Cheers
Carsten
