You've apparently got a copy of mysql still running, despite trashing eve=
rything
in /tmp. You can confirm that by:
% sockstat | grep mysql
Now, if sockstat shows that mysql is listening on a network interface,
then you may just be able to log into it over a network connection and
shut it down cleanly. If not, then you have no alternative by to signal
the process to death and then let it repair the datafiles as it restarts.=
* If you have to kill mysql by signalling it:
At first, try:
# kill -15 `ps -ax | grep mysqld | cut -d ' ' -f 2`
If it doesn't work immediately, leave mysql for 5 minutes, and see if=
it
has shut down yet. Try again if not, possibly several times. Failin=
g that,
use:
# kill -9 `ps -ax | grep mysqld | cut -d ' ' -f 2`
But this last really should be avoided, as it causes the process to c=
rash
without any opportunity to close itself down nicely.
* If mysql is listening on a network interface -- preferably any of=20
127.0.0.1:3306, [::1]:3306 or *:3306=20
Try using mysqladmin to shut it down cleanly. Note that mysql does
special shortcut things when hostname is localhost and tries to use t=
he
socket in /tmp/mysql.sock -- which doesn't help you at all. You can =
force
it to make a *network* connection to localhost by:
# mysqladmin -h localhost -P 3306 --protocol=3DTCP -u root -p shutdow=
n
This will prompt you for the mysql root password. If mysqladmin doesn=
't work,
then try using kill as above.
Your data *should* survive MySQL being forcibly restarted in either of th=
ese ways. MySQL takes very great pains to ensure data is written to pers=
istent media (ie.
disk) in order to provide proper ACID compliance. However, if mysql does=
get killed, it will need to do some repair work on data structures when =
it next starts up, and
that can take a while. Because writing out its PID file is one of the la=
st things
mysql does in the startup sequence '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server stat=
us' will
report 'not running' during this repair work, so be a bit patient if you =
see that.
Cheers,
Matthew
