Hi, I have MySQL-4.0.5a-beta installed on my RH9.0 Linux machine. This machine is as a replication master server. I have configured the other machine as replication slave with same version of MySQL and OS.
Now, I want to start replication slave server without stopping the master server. Is it possible? What I did,------ I configured the slave server and started the slave replication. Also gave the command "LOAD DATA FROM MASTER". This starts replication but the log files (localhost-relay-bin.xxx) taking to much space and the disk being 100% full. The database is InnoDB. Actual data for replication = 1500MB (at master replication server) Disk space available = 25GB (at slave server) After starting the slave the logfiles taking 24.5GB and only 0.5GB the actual data. What is wrong with my configuration?? I have the limitation that I have not to stop the master replication server. Please suggest me the solution. Regards Naveen
