Hi,
I get unaligned access errors and I suspect mysqld to cause these, as it reports page corruption just before. How would I find out whether this is true?
is mysql-server-5.0 the package to file a bug report for the problem. What else to include in the report?

mysql-Version: 5.0.32-7etch1

Do you need help?X

Description of what is happening:
mysqld finds a page corruption in a InnoDB database. The kernel then reports an unaligned access. mysqld restarts and performs the crash recovery. unaligned access occurs again and ssh, ping, apache, mysql do not respond anymore starting from this point.

Based on /var/log/syslog (see attachment) I suspect mysqld causes these problems.

Any help would be appreciated

(... snip ...) You can also use the symlinks from /dev/disk/by-**** . These are created on the fly as well, but they use some physical characteristics of the volumes to link them to the correct /dev/[hs]d[a-z].

Maybe dnsmasq is what you need. Regards, Andrei --=20 If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

FWIW, I had a particularly bad experience with a pair of 3-drive cages from Startech; the LSI Megaraid controller would mark all 6 drives as FAIL within about 2 hours, from a cold start. Once warmed up, the "failures" happened within ~10 minutes. Not only did the Startech bays not work anywhere near "according to spec", I received a grand total of 1 response to the first of a string of messages to their tech support, about six weeks after I sent the request. I replaced them with a pair of "Icy Dock" (sorry, don't recall the company name) cages, and they worked fine for several years. I've only just recently had trouble with mistaken failures again, most likely triggered by far too many power failures in a short time. :/ -kgd

Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:27:15 +0900 From: Miles Bader <miles.bader@necel.com> To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: printer problem (prints postscript source, not document) Message-Id: <buoy7c3njy4.fsf@dhapc248.dev.necel.com> Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="=-=-=" --=-=-= My work has a combo copy-machine/fax/printer that works great with windows (and seems really fast), but I can't seem to get it working properly with debian/cups. The printer model is: "Canon iR C4580F" I managed to locate it on the net, and configured it with cups' webpage-configuration stuff, and even found a .ppd file for it on Canon's website (no easy task, as naturally they distribute everything as windows installable archives...). The printer seems to use the "IPP" protocol, with a URL of "ipp://dhypr434:631/ipp" (I've attached the /etc/cups/printers.conf entry to this message). The problem is that when I print to this printer, while it _does_ print something, it prints the _postscript souce code_ for whatever I'm trying to print! This seems to happen no matter what input I feed cups (postscript file, pdf file, ...) or what frontend I use (lpr command from .ps file, mozilla print command, evince print command etc). So, for instance, a very simple 1 page postscript file (see "test.ps" attached to this message) results in the printer printing about 8 pages of postscript source code. Upon examining the postscript source code thus printed, I see two things: (1) It's obviously the same postscript I fed it, but has been "augmented" by some filter along the way, fleshing out the various magic comments and adding some setup code etc. I assume cups does this, but I don't think it's the problem. (2) The source code is "stair-stepped", with newlines only moving vertically. This suggests that whoever converted the postscript into text for printing was expecting a windows line-ending convention. I suppose (2) could be part of the problem, if somebody along the way is expecting postscript using windows line-endings, and gets confused because it gets only unix-style newlines. If anybody has read this far, do you have any suggestions on where I could look for the problem? [Using wireshark, I can see lots of negotiation between cups and the printer when I print something, but I'm not really sure what's correct and what's not...] Thanks, -Miles test.ps: --=-=-= Content-Type: application/postscript Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.ps Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: test.ps JSFQUy1BZG9iZS0zLjANCiUlVGl0bGU6IHRlc3QucHMNCiUlRm9yOiBNaWxlcyBCYWRlcg0KJSVE b2N1bWVudERhdGE6IENsZWFuN0JpdA0KJSVPcmllbnRhdGlvbjogUG9ydHJhaXQNCiUlUGFnZXM6 IDENCiUlUGFnZU9yZGVyOiBBc2NlbmQNCiUlRG9jdW1lbnRNZWRpYTogQTQgNTk1IDg0MiAwICgp ICgpDQolJURvY3VtZW50TmVlZGVkUmVzb3VyY2VzOiBIZWx2ZXRpY2ENCiUlRG9jdW1lbnRQcm9j ZXNzQ29sb3JzOiBCbGFjayANCiUlRW5kQ29tbWVudHMNCg0KJSVQYWdlOiAxIDENCg0KL0hlbHZl dGljYSBmaW5kZm9udCA3MiBzY2FsZWZvbnQgc2V0Zm9udA0KDQoxNTAgNTAwIG1vdmV0bw0KKGhl bGxvIHdvcmxkKSBzaG93DQpzaG93cGFnZQ0KDQolJVRyYWlsZXINCmVuZA0KDQolJUVPRg0K --=-=-= cups printer.conf entry: --=-=-= Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=dhypr434.xml Content-Description: cups printers.conf for dhypr434 <Printer dhypr434> Info dhypr434 Location 14F DeviceURI ipp://dhypr434:631/ipp State Idle StateTime 1192513184 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> --=-=-= -- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. --Albert Einstein --=-=-=--
