Increasing max data file length?
Hi, I have a table that has now reached 4gb but I thought that shouldn't be a problem since the table is running with raid. I noticed that the Datafile length has reached the Max Datafile length and I tried to increase it with myisamchk -r --data-file-length=8589934588 with no success. Do I need to clean the table up bigtime or can I increase this somehow? Can anyone please help me? :) Best regards, Gudmundur uname -a: Linux cartman 2.4.9-6smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 18 09:22:57 EDT 2001 i686 unknown myisamchk -dv: MyISAM file: data Record format: Packed Character set: latin1 (8) File-version:1 Creation time: 2001-06-28 13:29:11 Recover time:2001-12-28 15:18:12 Status: changed Auto increment key: 1 Last value:450036 RAID:Type: 1 Chunks: 6 Chunksize: 65536 Data records: 295294 Deleted blocks: 0 Datafile parts: 295294 Deleted data: 0 Datafile pointer (bytes):4 Keyfile pointer (bytes):4 Datafile length:4294912120 Keyfile length: 8341504 Max datafile length:4294967294 Max keyfile length: 4398046510079 Recordlength: 131 - 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?

Mysql wont start up correctly
Hi, I am running mysql 3.23.38-log with the my-huge.cnf and I saw that one table was getting pretty close to the 2gb's so I decided to recompile the mysql with the --with-raid parameter. And I do so, the compile goes fine and when I tried to run up the server it did this: root 15677 1.0 0.0 2140 1028 pts/2S10:48 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --datadir=/u01/mysql --pid-file=/u01/mysql/cartman.pid root 15702 3.0 0.0 11988 1668 pts/2S10:48 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/u01/mysql --user=root --pid-file=/u root 15704 0.0 0.0 00 pts/2Z10:48 0:00 [mysqld defunct] And just stopped there. I checked all the tables with myisamchk, tried starting it up without the config, recompiling the server with the old configure line. Then when I changed the mysql-server to startup safe_mysqld with strace to try to see where it stopped it started up normally. Ok I thought the problem was solved so I take out the strace and run it again and the server halts. Since I needed the server to be running it worked fine if I started the mysql without the safe_mysqld directly from command line. ./mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/u01/mysql --user=root --pid-file=/u01/mysql/cartman.pid --skip-locking Has anyone seen anything like that or have any solutions for me? Since I don't want to be running the server like that. regards, Gudmundur Some info on the machine: RedHat 7.1 Linux cartman 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 6048352 2473604 3267508 44% / /dev/sda131079 14120 15355 48% /boot /dev/sdb1104957340 25894880 73730892 26% /u01 /dev/sda4 10381036 3465764 6387940 36% /var HP NetServer LT6000r 2 x Intel PIII Xeon 700 1M Cache 4 GB ECC RAM 2 x HP 18.2GB 10K Ultra3 Wide keyrandi Raid 1 6 x HP 36.4GB 10K Ultra3 Wide keyrandi Raid 0,1 in a RS 12.
Tables exceeding 2gb
Hi, I have a Linux machine (Linux cartman 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown) that is running MySQL 3.23.38-log and now I have a table that is getting VERY near to the ext2 filesystem limitation of 2gb. Exact size of the table is: 2039867196 :) So my question is. What happens? Does mysql write into another file and automatically merge them on the fly or does the table stop or what? Also what suggestions do you have concerning this matter? regards, Gudmundur
