Description:
Hi,

We frequently hit some random crashes on slaves. When a crash occurs, every slaves are concerned. It may be a binlog corruption althrough the binlog is still readable by mysqlbinlog, no weird content neither.

We use MIXED mode.

Perhaps is it similar to http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=38718 ?

On this case the architecture looks like :
We have a master-> a master/slave -> and then the slaves (the ones which crash randomly). Maybe a corruption took place between the master and the master/slave, then replicated on the slaves => segfault.

I can reproduced the behavior on every version/OS I've tested : 5.1.22 (centos/debian), 5.1.50 (centos/debian), 5.1.51 (debian).

I'm going to attach the relay log.

The crash log : (from debian / 5.1.51)

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=2147483648
read_buffer_size=1048576
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=600
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 3332162 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

How to repeat:
To crash the slave I only need to execute a "CHANGE MASTER TO" near the crash zone I've studied, then START SLAVE and it crashes. The relay log looks like :

---------

I can crash the server merely by pointing its master (as described before) or locally by editing manually the relay-log.info + START SLAVE SQL_THREAD in attempt to replay the relay-log at a precise moment (# at 242 for example).

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Arnaud

Suggested fix:
No idea, if a binlog corruption is confirmed, I'll setup replication on SSL.
[26 Nov 2010 16:27] Arnaud Gadal
The problem was fixed with an upgrade from 5.1.22 to 5.1.51 on the M/S server.

=> No more segfault
=> The M/S server doesn't write corrupted binlog any more => slave doesn't crash (that crash problem is fixed since (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=38718 is closed I think).
