Actual Results: issue msqldump --flush-log or mysqladmin flush fail and if using mysqldump to do a backup of the DB no backup is created which is unacceptable. Expected Results: I expect the logs to be flushed when using the flush-log option and I expect mysqldump to complete successfully. The problem appears to be in the supplied /etc/my.cnf file. err-log needs to be defined in the [safe_mysqld] section, i.e. [safe_mysqld] log-error = /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log err-log = /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err socket = /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock Pretty bad oversight IMO -- 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.
