Hi Baron, > I'm the primary author of Maatkit.
Awkward... :-) > What can I say -- you could go buy a commercial off-the-shelf tool > and believe the song and dance they feed you about the tool > being perfect. There's not a single commercial software solution in our toolbox. We're big fans of CentOS, LVS, heartbeat, ldirectord, tomcat, MySQL, Xen, pureFTP, and more. We've been happy with the performance and reliability of all of our FOSS tools. I'm definitely not a Kool-aid drinker when it comes to commercial product marketing. > At least with Maatkit, you get transparency.

A more complete explanation of the exact nature of the bugs and the exact circumstances under which I should be concerned about triggering them would have increased my comfort level. > I think Maatkit is by far the best solution for live master-slave sync > in most real-world situations. We'll give it another look. -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - December 9, 2009 This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for Baron Schwartz,Gavin Towey,Tom Worster,my...@lists.mysql.com.
