Re: [Bacula-users] MySQL Errors being logged
The first thing I'd check is to make sure that the partition holding /tmp isn't running out of space. If it is, either tell MySQL to use a different directory with more space, or increase the amount of space allocated to /tmp. Just to follow up, I freed up some space and the problem hasn't come back.

[Bacula-users] MySQL Errors being logged
I've been using bacula on a Xen server for many months with no problems at all. A week ago I set up some jobs to run concurrently to the existing jobs to back up some remote clients to a remote sd. Since then, jobs aren't completing and are hanging around and things are just not running well, although I think the jobs ran okay for the first few nights. I upgraded bacula from Debian's 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 around the same time, remembering that there was a critical bug in Bacula releases around that time. This was probably a bit foolish in retrospect - I should have let 2.2.6 run for a bit before introducing the new jobs. I think the cause may be being indicated by the following messages being logged: 03-Feb 23:24 bitvs1-dir JobId 2104: Fatal error: sql_create.c:732 sql_create.c:732 insert INSERT INTO batch VALUES (234440,2104,'/usr/local/src/linux-2.6-2.6.18.dfsg.1/arch/powerpc/sysdev /','mmio_nvram.c','P0A BVJx1 IGg B Po Po A sk BAA I BHoxp9 BFELiO BHoxqG A A E','LwUL7mrqTpsgiK8bTaPM5A') failed: Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/#sqle43_153_0.MYI'; try to repair it 03-Feb 23:24 bitvs1-dir JobId 2104: Fatal error: catreq.c:482 Attribute create error. Pool record not found in Catalog. Bacula is version 2.2.6 (Debian package), MySQL is 5.0.32-7etch1 (again, Debian package). Any suggestions as to what I need to do to fix it? Blowing away the database is an option, as my media are fairly high rotation (backups are mainly for disaster recovery as opposed to file recovery), but obviously a better solution would be preferred.

Pool record not found in Catalog. This is actually fairly concerning. Normally, in the case of MySQL declaring a table is corrupt, I'd suggest that you just repair the table and move on. In this case, though, the table that's corrupt is the batch table. This is just a temporary table, which normally shouldn't even be hanging around long enough to get a chance to be corrupted, which means that something is hitting it really quick. The first thing I'd check is to make sure that the partition holding /tmp isn't running out of space. If it is, either tell MySQL to use a different directory with more space, or increase the amount of space allocated to /tmp. Beyond that, I'd check through your kernel logs to make sure that there aren't any filesystem or hard drive errors popping up. Just to make one thing clear, though - this is almost certainly not a Bacula problem. All that Bacula ever does is fire off standard SQL queries at the server, which (barring some catastrophic but in MySQL) should never be able to produce a corrupt table. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

If it is, either tell MySQL to use a different directory with more space, or increase the amount of space allocated to /tmp. When I just checked now, /var/log/mysql had about 2G of logfiles in it, and the root filesystem (containing /var/log) was full. My best guess is that it was filling up each night, but then by morning mysql would have purged the oldest logfile, so it looked like space wasn't a problem. Should I expect that much logging to be happening? It looks like database transaction logs. I have tuned it down to 3 days of log history instead of 10. Thanks for the tip!
