MySQL 4.0.18, Tru64 5.1B

The log partition filled up on one of our instances. RESET MASTER fails with:

ERROR 1186: Binlog closed, cannot RESET MASTER

I deleted some older logs by hand, but RESET MASTER still fails.

FLUSH LOGS appears to succeed, but no binary logs are being written, and RESET MASTER still fails.

I have one comment and one question about this:

Question: Is there any way out of this rather than restarting the server?

Comment: Data-modifying queries are still continuing successfully. This worries me. Without binary logs, and with data updates continuing, we don't have a way to restore the instance should the hardware fail. And if there were a replication slave running against this instance, it presumably would by now be far out of date, with no way of updating it without a complete resynchronisation from scratch.

Surely if the binary update log can't be written, inserts and updates should either block, or fail completely?

Or am I missing something?

Many thanks,

Tim
