'errno 32 on write' That's a broken pipe error (Run 'perror 32' in Linux) Maybe too much data is being pumped in through the pipe.
Instead of this : /usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root | /usr/bin/gzip -c /backups/mysql_backup.gz Try it this way : /usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root > AllData.txt /usr/bin/gzip -c /backups/mysql_backup.gz < AllData.txt -----Original Message----- From: FMGreen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 11:52 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: mysqldump (in crontab) failing with 'errno 32' even though it worked last week I use the mysqldump command (as below) in crontab to do a dump of my database each night. Up until last week this was working fine. Last week (when I was out of the office) there was a problem with the db and a colleague of mine had to do a manual dump. When he tried to run mysqldump (using the same command as I do) he got 'errno 32 on write'. I just tried to run the command myself and also got 'errno 32 on write'. My cronjob has also started failing even though crontab has not been changed. I am very confused given that this exact command was working up until last week. Can anyone shed light on what is going on? This is the command I use, run as super user: /usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root | /usr/bin/gzip -c > /backups/mysql_backup.gz -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mysqldump-%28in-crontab%29-failing-with-%27errno-32%27-even-though-it-worked-last-week-tf4944271.html#a14154528 Sent from the MySQL - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
