Dear [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Here's my setting: innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
Now the ibdata1 has been grow up to 1.3G We try to add more ibdata file to store the data by the following setting. innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:1500M;ibdata2:1500M:autoextend innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M;ibdata2:10M:autoextend But both of them failed,it seems the new setting would crush the db by the diff pages in the datafile. Here's the log, do any way to solve this? 040924 15:55:38 mysqld started InnoDB: Error: data file /home/mysql/data/ibdata1 is of a different size InnoDB: 82560 pages (rounded down to MB) InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 96000 pages! InnoDB: Could not open or create data files. InnoDB: If you tried to add new data files, and it failed here, InnoDB: you should now edit innodb_data_file_path in my.cnf back InnoDB: to what it was, and remove the new ibdata files InnoDB created InnoDB: in this failed attempt. InnoDB only wrote those files full of InnoDB: zeros, but did not yet use them in any way. But be careful: do not InnoDB: remove old data files which contain your precious data! 040924 15:55:38 Can't init databases 040924 15:55:38 Aborting Best regards.
