Currently to make a slave a master, the docs say you need to set the bin-log option in my.cnf on the slave, and that will make the transition to master quicker. I know I can manually change a slave to a master by stopping the slave process, stop mysql, take a snapshot of the databases, copy over a new master my.cnf, make sure I have granted rights to a user for the "old" master to return as a slave, and restart.
My question is how does having the bin-log option on the slave actually help this process? Or is there an easier way to convert a slave to master using the log position that I missed? Thanks in advance for any help. ~Vicky --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
