[Maria-discuss] Rollback from 10 to 5.5 with WHM
by Dan 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi, I installed MariadB 10 but was seeing poor performance and query times, so I rolled back to Mysql and saw better results. I wanted to rollback to Mariadb 5.5 but when going through the steps at http://blog.cpanel.net/mysql-mariadb/ and having the 5.5 repo in my Yum repos lists, it still tries to install MariaDB 10. Does anyone know why or how I can install 5.5 on WHM after installing and removing 10? Cheers Dan

don't respond off-list! it would be a good start if you would post your inputs and outputs so we don't need crystal balls as well as a list of the repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and their contents if they have anything related to mysql/mariadb in their name Am 23.05.2014 12:02, schrieb Dan: > The repo file only has 5.5, it doesn't actually download the packages because it can't actually find them under the > 5.5 repo and causes a 404.

[Maria-discuss] Merging FusionIO changes to 10.0.12
by Colin Charles 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi all, MariaDB has worked actively with Fusion-io, and we did release some improvements in a preview release a little over a month ago: https://blog.mariadb.org/significant-performance-boost-with-new-mariadb-pag… This was originally planned to be included into 10.0.10, but when we released the GA, we thought that the feature was not tested thoroughly. Now the code has proven stable we are thinking of merging this into 10.0.12. Yes, we know its already a GA, but this feature will be turned off by default, and the code is safely encapsulated. If you are not using Fusion-io or do not turn it on, there is no effect to you. To check, the changes are in the XtraDB and InnoDB that we ship (storage/xtradb & storage/innobase). Naturally, for those using Fusion-io devices, the benefits are clear - you will see significant improvements in speed and you will increase the lifetime of your cards. Think of this like adding drivers to the Linux kernel from time to time ;) What does everyone think? Package maintainers?

[Maria-discuss] Help with history tables
by Roberto Spadim 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hi guys I have an doubt about design I have a history table: CREATE TABLE HISTORY( CHANNEL INT NOT NUL DEFAULT 0, HISTORY_DATE DECIMAL(22,6) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT 'UNIX TIME', VALUE DECIMAL (22,6) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, PRIMARY KEY (CHANNEL,HISTORY_DATE) ) my question is... i need a history of only 50000 rows for each channel what's the best method to allow a good history without many deletes, analyse tables, and others stuffs to allow a good table/disk usage? i was considering a counter, for example, after 1000 inserts, run a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM HISTORY WHERE CHANNEL={channel_id} get this number of rows, if it's > 50000 run: DELETE FROM HISTORY WHERE CHANNEL={channel_id} ORDER BY HISTORY_DATE ASC LIMIT (number_of_rows - 50000) any other idea? maybe a 'batch' operation? i was think about something like (don't work, just a idea) DELETE FROM HISTORY WHERE CHANNEL IN (channel numbers) AND xxxxx? LIMIT 50000 GROUP BY CHANNEL i don't know anything to group by channel id and delete rows using only one sql command , any idea? thanks guys! -- Roberto Spadim SPAEmpresarial Eng.

[Maria-discuss] Ubuntu 14.04 + MariaDB engines
by Colin Charles 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi gerry, You asked why TokuDB and SphinxSE isn't in stock MariaDB that you get from Ubuntu 14.04, and I shall attempt to answer that for you (Ubuntu packages are inherited from upstream Debian fwiw) From /etc/lsb-release: DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" select version() gives: 5.5.37-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 When I do show engines; I see Sphinx: | SPHINX | YES | Sphinx storage engine | NO | NO | NO | You can verify it exists in /usr/lib/mysql/plugin. By default, there are 11 "engines" listed If you follow https://mariadb.com/kb/en/how-to-enable-tokudb-in-mariadb/ you may be disappointed not to see TokuDB (since it appeared in 5.5.33 - simple answer is that its disabled, just like oqgraph See commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mysql/mariadb-5.5.git;a=commit;h=68… You can however continue to get TokuDB from our mariadb repositories, using the repository config tool HTH cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist, SkySQL - The MariaDB Company blog: http://bytebot.net/blog/| t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles

[Maria-discuss] SELinux policy for MariaDB/Galera?
by Franz Schwartau 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hi! I'm looking for a SELinux policy for MariaDB/Galera. I'd like to use MariaDB/Galera with enforcing targeted SELinux. I googled a lot. No real solution showed up. The most helpful page was https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/percona-discussion/beyXK3U0ySo/disc… which solves part of the problem. Currently I try to allow SST via rsync. /usr/bin/wsrep_sst_rsync executes ps and netstat producing a lot of AVC denials, e. g. ---- time->Wed May 14 10:30:23 2014 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1400056223.334:70): arch=c000003e syscall=4 success=yes exit=0 a0=17081b0 a1=7f9811231ca0 a2=7f9811231ca0 a3=17081b6 items=0 ppid=1678 pid=1704 auid=4294967295 uid=497 gid=498 euid=497 suid=497 fsuid=497 egid=498 sgid=498 fsgid=498 tty=(none) ses =4294967295 comm="ps" exe="/bin/ps" subj=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1400056223.334:70): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1704 comm="ps" path="/proc/844" dev=proc ino=10578 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=dir ---- time->Wed May 14 10:30:23 2014 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1400056223.337:75): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=12 a0=7f9811231840 a1=0 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1678 pid=1704 auid=4294967295 uid=497 gid=498 euid=497 suid=497 fsuid=497 egid=498 sgid=498 fsgid=498 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="ps" exe="/bin/ps" subj=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1400056223.337:75): avc: denied { open } for pid=1704 comm="ps" name="stat" dev=proc ino=12305 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:restorecond_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1400056223.337:75): avc: denied { read } for pid=1704 comm="ps" name="stat" dev=proc ino=12305 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:restorecond_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1400056223.337:75): avc: denied { search } for pid=1704 comm="ps" name="1230" dev=proc ino=12150 scontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:restorecond_t:s0 tclass=dir audit2allow doesn't help in this case. The target domain isn't "fixed". It depends on the processes running. "netstat -lnpt" executed by /usr/bin/wsrep_sst_rsync has the problem. How could I write a SELinux policy to allow access for ps and netstat? Is there an "official" policy? Even RHEL 7 hasn't support for Galera (but improves the mysql policy for MariaDB a bit). Best regards Franz

[Maria-discuss] libaio dependency?
by Benjamin Jaton 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, I downloaded this archive: mariadb-10.0.10-linux-x86_64.tar.gz I use the simple my.conf from the documentation but all the commands fail, saying that they need libaio. *$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=./my.conf Installing MariaDB/MySQL system tables in '(...)/var' ..../bin/mysqld: error while loading shared libraries: libaio.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryInstallation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in (...)/var for more information.* I think this used to be a bug in 5.5.23 ( https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-302 ), can it be in 10.0.10 as well? Thanks, Ben

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB 10.0.10 - InnoDB confusion?
by Charles Cazabon 08 May '14

08 May '14

Greetings, I'm not sure if I'm doing something particularly stupid, but I'm having difficulty using InnoDB (the XtraDB version) with MariaDB v.10.0.10. The engine shows as disabled in my configuration for reasons I'm unclear on. I'm using a mirror of the apt repository (from http://mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/) on Ubuntu 14.04 server, running on x86_64. The currently installed version is 10.0.10+maria-1~trusty . My configuration includes changing the default table type: # defaults to innodb default_storage_engine = aria That works as expected. However, when I create a table specifying `ENGINE=InnoDB`, the table is actually created as an Aria table, and a warning is logged: > show warnings; +---------+------+---------------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +---------+------+---------------------------------+ | Warning | 1286 | Unknown storage engine 'InnoDB' | +---------+------+---------------------------------+ Sure enough, the InnoDB engine shows as not supported: > show engines; [...] | InnoDB | NO | Percona-XtraDB, Supports transactions.... | I haven't done anything specifically to disable XtraDB/InnoDB support. Looking through the documentation, knowledge basse, and mailing list archives hasn't turned up anything related. The only thing I found was this, in the documentation for the ignore_builtin_innodb variable: ignore_builtin_innodb Description: In older versions of MariaDB, setting this to 1 resulted in the built in InnoDB storage engine to be ignored. In MariaDB 5.5, InnoDB is the default and is always present, so this variable is ignored and setting it results in a warning. In MariaDB 10.0.x, this variable currently needs to be set. I'm not sure exactly what it means by saying it "needs to be set" with this version of MariaDB (doc bug?). If I add `ignore_builtin_innodb = 1` to my configuration, then the server refuses to start, complaining about unrecognized configuration options in the config, basically anything to do with innodb (innodb_file_per_table, innodb_checksum_algorithm, etc). Am I missing something? Is there a way to use Aria as the default table type while still allowing the use of XtraDB-provided InnoDB tables as well? Any assistance appreciated.
