Regarding the error, we need to check whether the table is present or not and the engine type specifically.

And doing LOCK TABLES t1, t2, ... for really big number of tables will inevitably exhaust all available file descriptors, as LOCK needs all tables to be opened. Workarounds: --skip-lock-tables will disable such a locking completely. Alternatively, --lock-all-tables will make mysqldump to use FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK which locks all tables in all databases (without opening them). In this case mysqldump will automatically disable --lock-tables because it makes no sense when --lock-all-tables is used. or try with add --single_transaction to your mysqldump command On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 9:49 AM, Dan Nelson <dnel...@allantgroup.com> wrote: > In the last episode (Sep 23), Shafi AHMED said: > > I have a mysql database of 200G size and the backup fails due to the > foll. > > Issue. > > > > mysqldump: Got error: 1017: Can't find file: > > './ssconsole/ss_requestmaster.frm' (errno: 24) when using LOCK TABLES > > > > Can someone assist pls.? > > $ perror 24 > OS error code 24: Too many open files > > You need to bump up the max files limit in your OS.
