Re: MySQL with InnoDB on a readonly filesystem.
Hi! InnoDB does not work on a read-only file system. It needs to write to data files and ib_logfiles. For example, the transaction id advances also with SELECT queries, and we need to write it to the files.

Ralph, Not sure why your trying to open a innodb file on a read-only filesystem. Personally I'd place the innod onto a read-write file syste, and grant the users connect and select priveleges only. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why are you trying to use InnoDB, if your data/filesystem is read only? Why not use MyISAM instead? We allready have a large InnoDB database. And every hour we flush all data from the mysql slave to disk, set a lock on the tables, make a snapshot (takes about 1 second) of the data and unlock the tables again. So we have a read-only snapshot on which we can work, and request data from. We just want to start a standalone mysql server with the data on the snapshot to make some mysqldumps for archiving.
