Hello list, I've got a problem with mysql being killed by signal 11 (segmentation violation). It gets killed on average every 4 days, and on that day it will on averate get killed 4 times. Sometimes it will be as many as 8 times, sometimes only once (see below for log).
I've read 'Debugging a MySQL server' in the manual, and have taken the stacktrace (which is the same everytime it gets killed) and resolved it to get: 0x400645e2 _end + 937899586 0x40063bc2 _end + 937896994 0x80bcd6e create_new_thread__FP3THD + 638 0x80bd232 handle_connections_sockets__FPv + 1058 0x80bc8e5 main + 2625 0x400e89b7 _end + 938441239 0x8088821 _start + 33 Unsurprisingly, this doesn't help me out much except that it looks like it happens when a new thread is created. As I said, I have read the online manual so I know that this may not help anyone else out either, but I have no idea how to get the fault to happen on demand - so this seems like a good enough way to start. If anyone can make any suggestions on tests/things to try then please do. Thanks, Matt This is what a typical log entry looks like: -------------------- mysqld got signal 11; The manual section 'Debugging a MySQL server' tells you how to use a stack trace and/or the core file to produce a readable backtrace that may help in finding out why mysqld died Attemping backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went terribly wrong Cannot determine thread, ebp=0xbffff484, backtrace may not be correct stack range sanity check, ok, backtrace follows 0x400645e2 0x40063bc2 0x80bcd6e 0x80bd232 0x80bc8e5 0x400e89b7 0x8088821 New value of ebp failed sanity check terminating backtrace Number of processes running now: 0 011129 12:16:57 mysqld restarted /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections This is how often it gets killed (these are all caused by SIGSEGV) -------------------- $ grep -e 'mysqld restarted' bertha.err | uniq -w6 -c 1 010930 19:10:32 mysqld restarted 8 011001 09:40:39 mysqld restarted 2 011002 09:49:22 mysqld restarted 3 011020 09:16:26 mysqld restarted 3 011025 14:00:11 mysqld restarted 7 011026 13:46:05 mysqld restarted 1 011029 20:01:59 mysqld restarted 2 011031 12:29:03 mysqld restarted 1 011107 16:24:05 mysqld restarted 2 011112 13:39:32 mysqld restarted 7 011113 14:52:30 mysqld restarted 7 011120 15:04:52 mysqld restarted 4 011122 11:46:56 mysqld restarted 4 011126 09:45:53 mysqld restarted 6 011127 10:12:18 mysqld restarted 1 011129 12:16:57 mysqld restarted -- #!/usr/bin/perl $A='A';while(print+($A.=(grep{($A=~/(...).{78}$/)[0]eq$_}" A A A " =~m{(...)}g)?"A":" ")=~/([ A])$/){if(!(++$l%80)){print"\n";sleep 1}} --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
