Hi, I'm using the same MySQL version on debian and have no problem setting the key_buffer size. I take it you are setting "key_buffer" and not "key_buffer_size" in the my.cnf file ?
eg. set-variable = key_buffer=32M I don't know why it has a different name in the 'show variables' list. Are you saying that running "change master ..." resets the variable ? == Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
