Hey guys, I think I have this figured out. I'm just doing some testing. If I manually recreate the master.info file, it sort of works, but I get the following error from the IO thread:
Error reading relay log event: slave SQL thread aborted because of I/O error So, instead of manually creating the replicatin index and info files, just delete them. Then edit your my.cnf and make your master connection info invalid in some way -- use a bogus host or change the username or password. Basically, you want to be able to start your server with replication without replicating. >From there, start your server, issue a SLAVE STOP and then a CHANGE MASTER TO statement to fix it all. This will change the master server and you can specify the log file position and the log file you are working on. This looks like it works -- I'm still using the corrupt data so I'm getting duplicate queries, but the slave seems to start and run.
