I'm using mysql 5.0.51a (yes I know it's old but I cannot upgrade at the moment) on linux.
My challenge is that mysql admin does not wait long enough for mysql database(s) which are all innodb and VERY large (billions of rows) and eventually just kills the db. This causes innodb to try and repair itself on restart and really cuases trouble for us. How can I make mysqladmin never give up on the mysql to gracefully stop? Bryancan
