Innodb other storage engines uses other mechanisms. innodb_file_per_table = 1 ...will make InnoDB store one table in one file in one dir, similar to what MyISAM does. Downside: More inodes used. Upside: Easier to back up and restore individual InnoDB tables, but not quite as easy as it is with MyISAM tables since you still need that ibdata1 file and you may need a couple of ALTER TABLE commands when restoring. I'd set that option in a new MySQL install, but that's just me. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Re: Linux CP command
the problem you are running into is with file structure, *cp /home/public_html/mylog.txt /home/public_html/backup/mylog.bak* in that example from your page you see that it starts at / and works down. so you would need to do something similar cp /var/lib/mysql/DB1/*.* to /var/lib/mysql/DB2/ On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 4:17 PM, keith smith klsmith2...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi, For some reason I just don't get the cp command.

Linux CP command
Hi, For some reason I just don't get the cp command. Maybe it is the deep rooted MS DOS from the 80's and 90's. I spent about a decade using MS DOS. Here is what is going on. I am in a CentOS box and do not ever become root. I use sudo. I want to copy one MySql DB to another so I can use the data for testing. 1) I cd to /var/lib/mysql 2) I can see both DB's 3) I issue any number of commands that do not work. Lets say DB1 is the source directory DB2 is the destination directory mysql]$ sudo cp DB1/*.* DB2/ Results: cp: cannot stat `DB1/*.*': No such file or directory mysql]$ sudo cp DB1/* DB2/ Results: cp: cannot stat `DB1/*': No such file or directory mysql]$ sudo cp DB1/ DB2/ Results: creates the directory DB1 under DB2 and copies all the files into DB2/DB1 mysql]$ sudo cp DB1 DB2/ Results: does not seem to do anything. http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ucp.htm shows this example: cp -r /home/hope/files/* /home/hope/backup mysql]$ sudo cp -r /var/lib/mysql/DB1/* /var/lib/mysql/DB2 - cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/mysql/baseline/*': No such file or directory This is driving me crazy. Any help much appreciated!

It it says: cannot stat `/var/lib/mysql/baseline/*': No such file or directory There IS not such file or directory. Did you run a nice: ls -al first to determine what was there? You can use the TAB key to autocomplete your commands, which is very useful for linux.

Re: Linux CP command
sudo cp DB1/* DB2/ should have worked. The fact that it's giving you a file not found is a little confusing. My guess is that you have either have a typo in the source database folder name, or more likely you haven't taken into account that Linux file systems are case sensitive.

You'll never get a consistent snapshot of your data if it is. Either use mysqldump, or stop the server prior to doing your copies. If you use mysqldump, make sure you use the options to lock the database, so you get a consistent dump. If your application can't tolerate the amount of database unavailability which is required (either locking or from the server shutdown), set up a database slave and take your copies/backups from the slave. alex On Aug 12, 2010, at 4:38 PM, Brian Cluff wrote: sudo cp DB1/* DB2/ should have worked.

Re: Linux CP command
I just tried this in Ubuntu 10.04 and I couldn't navigate to the the /var/lib/mysql directory as non-root and the sudo cd /var/lib/mysql command didn't work so I just did a sudo -s and then navigated to the directory and did a copy like you have and it worked. As the others said though, I'd do a mysqldump instead. --- On Thu, 8/12/10, keith smith klsmith2...@yahoo.com wrote: From: keith smith klsmith2...@yahoo.com Subject: Linux CP command To: Main PLUG discussion list plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Date: Thursday, August 12, 2010, 6:17 PM Hi, For some reason I just don't get the cp command.
