That needs a 'repair table' command; probably because the snapshot was taken while the tables were open. > Mar 26 14:43:54 xyz-web02 mysqld: 120326 14:43:54 [Warning] Checking table: > './db/comm_opens' > Mar 26 14:43:54 xyz-web02 mysqld: 120326 14:43:54 [ERROR] 1 client is using > or hasn't closed the table properly Pretty harmless; a client indeed didn't close the table properly - you snapshotted it while open :-) Again, repair table. You may want to issue "flush tables with read lock" just before you take the snapshot. Must keep that session open during the snapshot (it'll temporarily put the database in read-only mode), when the snapshot is complete issue "unlock tables" and close the session. Mind that, while "probably good enough", that doesn't 100% silence the database - InnoDB in particular has background processes that just keep going even though you flushed and locked all tables. Short of third-party solutions, shutdown is the only surefire way to take fully consistent backups of a MySQL instance. -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
