GrabPERF: Outage — 20:39-21:09 EDT October 26, 2005

26 Oct 2005

For reasons that I have yet to discover, my outbound connection to the Internet appears to have been down between the times listed in the title.

As I have said before, my connection is less than “professional grade”, i.e. “don’t do this at home”.

If I find a cause, I will update.

I apologize for the incovenience.

UPDATE: Ouch.

Found a MONDO huge problem with mysqldump in MySQL 5.0.15 — it locked the tables. Totally.

I backup the database by taking a dump 4 times a day, 12 hours apart on two machines.

The Web server machine, where I was testing MySQL 5.0.15 prior to the production upgrade, is using the version mysqldump that shipped with that.

I need to read the docs and disable the table locks.
