Subject: Re: Copy 70GB ibdata, etc. and server won't start now
Why do the dates on the log files differ by almost a month between Old and
New?
Because the 70GB snapshot was copied a month ago when we swapped out some
hardware and drives and such. So the data on my "new" box will be a month
old, but that's fine. It's for a live demo and doesn't need to be current --
just have stuff to play with.
And everytime you muck with the database, it updates the stamp, so these
dates are misleading.
