As one other stated, it should not lose position when you stop and start the master or slave in a controlled manner. And also stated was that the way you were doing it was causing a loss of data, and you'll need to use maatkit to fix it, or if you can afford some downtime, stop mysql on both and copy the whole database(s) from master to slave (and reconfigure replication of course). On the slave, I'd be curious what the result was when you did only a "STOP SLAVE;" and then "START SLAVE;" because in my estimation, chances are it would have picked right up where it was supposed to. Your issue is likely that your slave has a large "slave_net_timeout" value (default is 3600 seconds IIRC). That means your slave will take 1 hour to finally give up on the replication connection (that the master closed on it), close the connection, and then reopen it. Lower that setting to something smaller, I've gone as low as 30 seconds, but I would only do that on a reliable network. Try lowering it to 300 (5 minutes) on your slave. When you restart the master, the slave should timeout after only 5 minutes and then resume replication. -- Regards...
