Very large ibdata1 growth (335Gb) with 10.6.13, solved in 10.6.14 ?
by Simon Avery 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

Hi All, We run around 60 Mariadb 10.6 servers on EL in vms and varying workloads. Some time after they updated from 10.6.12 to 10.6.13, four of the busiest started showing higher disk usage than expected. Upon investigation, /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 was exceptionally large, up to 335Gb, and was still growing at several Gb/day. Note: All servers have only run with "innodb_file_per_table" set and only have innodb engines for user DBs. I cobbled together some data collection just before I went on holiday and checked the graphs today. (Pic attached - if not stripped by the list software) [A picture containing screenshot, line, parallel Description automatically generated] Four machines growing, rest static. Two affected machines stopped growing a week ago - and on checking, Mariadb was upgraded from 10.6.13 to 10.6.14 on them and they were rebooted then. The two still growing are still running 10.6.13 My questions! 1. Am I right that this was a known bug in Mariadb and has been resolved with the .14 release? 2. The .14 release notes mention "InnoDB does not free UNDO after the fix of MDEV-30671 (MDEV-31234)" - is the failure to free UNDO logs a likely cause for ibdata1 to grow, given that it stores the undo log? (The two worst affected machines process many million queries a day) 3. To recover this space, I will need to do a full mysqldump, wipe and reimport of the data, correct? I guess I'm mostly asking for reassurance that this issue is now resolved and that once I schedule in the downtime to recover the space, that it's not going to resurface... Thanks, Simon

Connector/C fails to read MariaDB 10.6+ binary logs
by sruli67＠gmail.com 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

Hi, I'm using MariaDB Connector/C to 3.3.5 to read binary logs. It works perfectly for MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB 10.5 databases. For MariaDB 10.6 and above, mariadb_rpl_fetch() crashes (!) if the binlog contains XA transactions. Specifically, the function fails when it tries to read event type GTID with this contents: 'XA START X\'54584e31\',X\'\',1 GTID 0-1-21' Please advise Sruli Ganor

How is providers in the `xu6gc_tj_notification_providers' table defined? Is it also varchar(100) character sat uft8mbr collate utf8mb4-general-ci ?? The parent and child columns has to match exactly.

Am I using the wrong command to perform the backup or restore? This isn't a database that I created and I really have no idea how it works. I've also searched extensively for this error, and it appears to be a programming error, not a database error, but obviously I have no control over Joomla programming.
