Two weeks ago one of our replicated 4.1 servers crashed and couldn't recover the datafiles, so last night I wiped the DB filesystem and started from scratch.
Succesfully installed the 5.1 packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database:/mysql51/SLES_9/x86_64/ and i'm currently restoring from a DB dump. Would be great just to start with the binary files though... I'll report any issue. Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
