Indeed - the document says:
This process was tested using the following software
versions:
Linux Mandrake 10/Kernel 2.4.22-10 SMP
Mysql Ver 12.21 Distrib 4.0.15, for mandrake-linux-gnu (i586)
PostgreSQL 7.3.4
Bacula 1.34.5
No surprise this is breaking down.
With your description I get no errors, but I'm still not through.
Observations:
- With the options used here, mysqldump needs much longer, and it
consumes an awful lot of memory - in my case close to 14 GB. I had
to add extra swp space because the 4 GB RAM / 4 GB swap I had on my
ol d DB server did not work.
- The generates SQL dump is about twice as large as the dumps I got
before.
- The import into PostgreSQL is terribly slow. It spits out a large
number of lines "INSERT 0 1" on the terminal (7.7 millions such
lines so far, after about 20 hours of run time); but my SQL dump
file contains more than 72 millions 'INSERT INTO' lines. Extra-
polating from that the import will take at least 190 hours or about
8 days. And this is only the smaller of my bacula databases...
Is there something going wrong? I guess there is no way to check
before the process completes, right?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
