I'm exploring mysql replication under FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE. Two machines, named 'master' and 'slave', each running FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE and MySQL 3.23.36-debug. I've followed the instructions at <http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Replication_HOWTO.html> All very straight forward. When I spin everything up, I see these errors on the slave server: /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections 010718 19:28:17 Slave: connected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306', replication started in log 'FIRST' at position 4 010718 19:29:22 Error reading packet from server: Lost connection to MySQL server during query (read_errno 35,server_errno=2013) 010718 19:29:22 Slave: Failed reading log event, reconnecting to retry, log 'master-bin.001' position 803 010718 19:29:22 Slave: reconnected to master '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',replication resumed in log 'master-bin.001' at position 803 And the last two errors just keep repeating. I can otherwise connect just fine: slave% mysql -u repl -prepl -h master.xxx.xxx Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 58 to server version: 3.23.36-debug-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer mysql> quit Bye I presume 'read_errno 35' refers to: 35 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable. This is a temporary condition and later calls to the same routine may complete normally. Does anyone have any insight? Funky hardware? The list has mentioned 4.2-RELEASE having threading problems, fixed in 4.3. Might this be the case? I don't want to have to upgrade the OS, out-of-hand. Upgrade the version of MySQL on the master a/o slave? I see some changes WRT replication: F.2.1 Changes in release 3.23.40 Added slave_wait_timeout for replication. F.2.3 Changes in release 3.23.38 Better error message when slave max_allowed_packet is too low to read a very long log event from the master. F.2.4 Changes in release 3.23.37 Fixed bug that erroneously logged a drop of internal temporary table on thread termination to the binary log - bug affected replication. Would any of these apply to the errors I'm seeing? -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
