Hi,I have got the correct answer now, from Linus Larsson, just forwarding it for the archives:
-------8<------- Hello, my name is Linus Larsson.I saw you got a problem with mysql on Ubuntu 9.10, I was researching the exact same problem and found your post. In the end I turned off app-armor. It seems to have a buggy profile for mysql.
sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stopOf course the correct fix is to update the profile, but I have no time to look into that now. I'm only using mysql temporarily on my computer anyway.
Regards, Linus -------8<------- Thanks to everybody who answered. :) Regards, Sebastiaan Ananda Kumar wrote:

Do proper shutdown of mysql server. 2. Check the error log file that mysql server is shutdown properly. 3. Remove log files (ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1). 4. Start mysql server (The log files will be created automatically) Thanks, Krishna On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Sebastiaan van Erk <sebs...@sebster.com <mailto:sebs...@sebster.com> <mailto:sebs...@sebster.com <mailto:sebs...@sebster.com>>> wrote: 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
