Hello All,

        Hope somebody can shed some light on this as i think my torch is running
out of batteries ;-)

I have two mysql 4.0.1 servers on two 1Ghz athlon boxes (which are both
running on Mandrake linux 8.2). Our main server has been bulked up with
1Gb of ram and various other goodies whilst the second server is a more
modest replication slave with 128mb and a single ide hdd and a dds4 drive.

We use the replication slave to take snapshot backups of the database
during the working day (hence the dds drive ;-) but recently have had
problems...

We make regular use of temporary tables in our application which seems
to cause problems for the replication slave. Doing a 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS'
gives us the following on one particular table.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Slave: query 'drop table gessica.tmpcredit_card' partially completed on
the master and was aborted. There is a chance that your master is
inconsistent at this point. If you are sure that your master is ok, run
this query manually on the slave and then restart the slave with SET
SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER=1; SLAVE START;

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

We get messages like this for every temporary table we use. Normally i'd
be happy to tell mysql to ignore this, as this particular temporary
table is not used in any subsequent updates or inserts, but we need to
use some temp tables to update data.

In an effort to resolve this we upgraded to mysql-4.0.3 which seemed to
go fine. Replication worked a treat and everything seemed ok until next
morning. Once the server was under load (about 25 users), mysql
processes started falling over on the server reporting "mysqld got
signal 11;". After trying everything we could think of, and in a last
ditch attempt to make the system "usable" again we downgraded back to
4.0.1 and everything worked.... with exception to the replication.

I had taken a backup of the logfile before downgrading to 4.0.1 which
showed the following (many times obviously)

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely
wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=402649088
read_buffer_size=2093056
sort_buffer_size=2097144
max_used_connections=0
max_connections=500
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections
= 2439208 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Im not a database expert so the above really doesn't mean much to be
honest. But all other errors in the file are virtually identical.

If anyone needs any more information i'd be quite happy to post the full
log files on the net (am reluctant to fill up everyones mailbox!) or by
email.

something i forgot to mention is the above logfiles came from the master.

any pointers gladly taken, however small..

best regards to you all,

danny
