Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mysql-server-5.0
I'm running 6.06 LTS. I tried to install mysql-server through synaptic and it
failed with a cryptic error message, so I tried to start the server by hand and
it failed:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/mysql[9628]: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!
After poking around a little, I found the problem on line 48 of
/etc/init.d/mysql:
if LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability $datadir/. | tail -n 1 | awk '{ exit
($4>4096) }'; then
That should be BLOCK_SIZE, I believe. This is confirmed by the fact that I can
start the server like this:
$ BLOCK_SIZE='' sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld.
This may already be fixed in a newer version of ubuntu (see here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.0/5.0.24a-9) but it
would be nice if that was backported to the LTS edition :)
** Affects: mysql-dfsg-5.0 (Ubuntu)
