https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223209 Summary: mysql stop script timeout too short Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: mmarek@novell.com ReportedBy: dmueller@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de the mysql stop script does a standard killproc, which sends a -TERM and after 5 seconds a KILL to the daemon. This is not enough for a busy mysql daemon to shut down, and consequently, your database is corrupted or in an inconsistent state afterwards. the example scripts, as they come with the mysql distribution, have a TERM wait of 35 and *no* kill. the debian mysql scripts issue a "mysqladmin shutdown" instead, which is blocking until the daemon terminated. Whatever you decide for, but killing a daemon after 5 seconds is dangerous to your data consistency. filing against 10.2 because I just learned this the hard way, but also applicable to SLES10 (I guess). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
