I use MySQL version 4.1.18 with redhat-linux-gnu (i686). I have created a InnoDB database consisting of 210 GB ibdata files. I used InnoDB to allocate more memory and speed up the load. I want use it for read-only purpose and it works fine with one MySQL server instance.
I am trying to run multiple instance of MySQL server on the same data files, but i get the following error when I start second MySQL server instance on the same data files (ibdata*). i would greatly appreciate any pointers on how to avoid this error. thanks, Ralph COMMAND ------------------------------------------- mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/home/savaj/adsale4/my.cnf --user=adsale --read-only --skip-grant-tables --skip-external-locking --skip-locking Error --------------------------------------------- InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process InnoDB: using the same InnoDB data or log files. 060718 16:32:14 InnoDB: Unable to open the first data file InnoDB: Error in opening /mnt/adsale/adsale4/ibdata1 060718 16:32:14 InnoDB: Operating system error number 11 in a file operation.
