Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Documentation" by jaihind213: -------------------------------- hi we setup maria 10.0.4 for multisource replication. it was replicating from a percona 5.5 master. When we started replication, maria was a day behind its master. its working fine but we noticed this phenomenon: when we execute 'show all slaves status' consecutively the 'seconds_behind_master' flips from 0 to XXX and XXX to 0. XXX keeps decreasing though, which is good as its getting closer to the state of its master. But wanted to know why the 'seconds_behind_master' comes down to 0 then again sets to a positive number. Note: XXX is some positive number. Thanking you. vishnu rao -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/regarding-seconds-behind-master-variable-in-1004/
