We got bitten by this bug and are now checking tables on our DBs. What's interesting is that we made changes to the mysql upstart script but they do not seem to be taking effect. In particular:
1) changes to the kill timeout. Changing the value to 300 had no effect. Even after issuing an "initctl reload-configuration", upstart still appeared to kill mysqld after about 5 seconds. We are still in the process of confirming. 2) commented out respawn. This also had no effect on "mysqladmin stop", which would cleanly stop mysql, but almost immediatly, mysqld would restart. Here's a sample: $ ( set -x ; sudo mysqladmin status ; sudo mysqladmin shutdown ; sleep 10 ; sudo mysqladmin status ) + sudo mysqladmin status Uptime: 92 Threads: 1 Questions: 7882 Slow queries: 1 Opens: 71 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 64 Queries per second avg: 85.673 + sudo mysqladmin shutdown + sleep 10 + sudo mysqladmin status Uptime: 11 Threads: 1 Questions: 919 Slow queries: 1 Opens: 49 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 42 Queries per second avg: 83.545 This is on Ubuntu Lucid. 10.04 running mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-dfsg-5.1 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620441 Title: MySQL upstart stop job does not cleanly shutdown mysql -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
