[Maria-discuss] innodb_file_per_table default setting in the online documentation
by Pantelis Theodosiou 08 May '15

08 May '15

I was looking for the default setting of this variable and the MariaDB documentation <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/xtradbinnodb-server-system-variables/#inn…> has: > *Default Value:* OFF (>= MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.7), ON (MariaDB/MySQL 5.5.0 to 5.5.6) while MySQL documentation <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb…> has (I think correctly): *Permitted Values* (<= 5.6.5) *Type* boolean* Default *OFF *Permitted Values* (>= 5.6.6) *Type *boolean* Default *ON So, I see two issues: - first, the changing version is 5.6.6 (not 5.5.7), at least in MySQL, and - second, the values OFF / ON in the Maria documentation are reversed. Apologies if this is not the correct list to raise the issue. Pantelis Theodosiou

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Multi Master Replication and Skip Error
by AskMonty KB 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Community" by markwass. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/multi-master-replication-and-skip-error/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- Hi Guys I have 3 MariaDB 10 servers all running on Ubuntu 14.04 in a multi master replication setup. I had an issue the other day with replication where one of my slaves was asking me to run "SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter=1; start slave;" After running the command it did not fix the issue. So I tried "stop all slaves; SET GLOBAL sql_slave_skip_counter=1; start all slaves;" and still the issue was there. I'm wondering if it's because I'm using GlobaI Transaction ID's? Using_Gtid: Slave_Pos If this is the case then can some one explain to me how I would over come this replication error while using Global Transaction ID's? Thanks -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/multi-master-replication-and-skip-error/

Re: [Maria-discuss] fsync necessary for synchronous page flush?
by Xiaofei Du 07 May '15

Hi Jan, The only place fsync is called after AIO that I could find is in function buf_LRU_remove_pages (buf0lru.cc) But after other AIO operations, I didn't see fsync is called. Do you know how this difference will affect the recovery process? Thanks.

[Maria-discuss] fsync necessary for synchronous page flush?
by Xiaofei Du 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hello, When a dirty page is flushed synchronously in buf_flush_write_block_low, fsync is called in the following snippet. I am wondering why we need this fsync for synchronous flush? The record should be in the log already, so recovery should be able to successfully redo it and apply to the disk during recovery. Maybe I am missing something here, please let me know if I am wrong. Thanks much! Xiaofei /* When doing single page flushing the IO is done synchronously and we flush the changes to disk only for the tablespace we are working on. */ if (sync) { ut_ad(flush_type == BUF_FLUSH_SINGLE_PAGE); fil_flush(buf_page_get_space(bpage)); /* true means we want to evict this page from the LRU list as well. */ buf_page_io_complete(bpage, true); }

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB 10 multi-source replciation with SSL enabled
by Vadim Pestovnikov 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hi all, I am having a replication issue with MariaDB 10 using multi-source replication with SSL enabled. I have MariaDB 10 db in China, MariaDB 10 db in US and MariaDB 10 db in Europe. Each of them are getting data from other database sources such as Percona Server, AWS RDS using Tungsten replication because MariaDB 10 is not compatible with AWS RDS and Percona with GTID enabled. US and China MariaDB 10 servers are masters for Europe MariaDB. When I restore US and China MariaDB 10 data in Europe MariaDB 10 slave and start the replication, slave and masers are in sync. Then new data is coming to a masters from Tungsten, but slave doesn't get it. I don't see any errors neither from mysql-error.log or slave status. When I create fake tables and insert records everything replicates perfectly. What can be possible wrong with my setup? -- Vadim

[Maria-discuss] Password Complexity Plugin
by Adam Scott 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, I noticed MySQL 5.6 has a validate_password plugin. Since it's open-source, can we add it to MariaDB 5.5. Or is that bad form, a hot potato, etc.? We need the features of this plugin in our environment, and the PAM integration is looking not a good "fit" (though it's working great). (I'm trying to get it to compile in right now, but it's having issues with the includes so far...working on it). Thanks, Adam C. Scott

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Cannot increase open-files-limit
by AskMonty KB 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Managing MariaDB" by raquel.j. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/cannot-increase-open-files-limit/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- I have a LEMP stack on Ubuntu 14.04 with 10.0.17-MariaDB-1~trusty. Mysql is a huge bottleneck for my server. I have tried everything of which I am aware to raise the open files limit for mysql. I have added "open-files-limit = 2097152" to my.cnf. I have added the following to limits.conf: * soft nofile 2097152 * hard nofile 2097152 * soft nproc 2097152 * hard nproc 2097152 mysql soft nofile 2097152 mysql hard nofile 2097152 mysql soft nproc 2097152 mysql hard nproc 2097152 I have added "session required pam_limits.so" to /etc/pam.d/common-session* and /etc/pam.d/sudo and a couple of others. I have tried restarting mysql after reboot - no change. I also checked /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld to see if it was involved but the file is empty. After all that I still get the following: # ulimit -Sa core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 256538 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 2097152 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited When I run # mysqld --verbose I get this: 150501 0:19:35 [Warning] Could not increase number of max_open_files to more than 1024 Does anyone have any idea as to what is blocking this change??? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/cannot-increase-open-files-limit/
