Hi all,
I just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, but now I'm having all sorts
of temp file problems. For example, when I try to delete a row and
violate a contraint I get:
ERROR 1451 (23000): Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign
key constraint fails (temp file operation failed)
Instead of telling me which constraint is violated, it tells me the
temp file creation failed. I have no reason why it failed, I don't see
any error messages in the log.
To solve this problem I tried to make a tmpfs partition (I thought,
maybe somehow my using ext4 might be a problem):
mkdir /tmpfs
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1g tmpfs /tmpfs
mkdir /tmpfs/mysql
chown mysql:mysql
and changed the tmpdir in the mysql config to /tmpfs/mysql
tmpdir=/tmpfs/mysql
But then mysql fails on startup:
/usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/tmpfs/mysql/ibGgjPv7'
(Errcode: 13)
091108 10:12:46 InnoDB: Error: unable to create temporary file;
errno: 13
091108 10:12:46 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
091108 10:12:46 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE
ENGINE failed.
I checked error code 13, which is permission denied, but I don't
understand this, because if I change tmpdir to /tmp/mysql it does
work, and I have:
$ ls -ld /tmp/mysql
drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 4096 2009-11-08 10:14 /tmp/mysql
$ ls -ld /tmpfs/mysql
drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 40 2009-11-08 10:12 /tmpfs/mysql
So I don't see the difference....
Has anyone encountered similar problems, or know what's going on here?
Best regards,
Sebastiaan
This might just be a typo, but the chown statement you gave us didn't
have a target and so would not have affected the relevant directories:
mkdir /tmpfs
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1g tmpfs /tmpfs
mkdir /tmpfs/mysql
chown mysql:mysql
Probably should be:
chown -R mysql:mysql /tmpfs/mysql
