Package: mysql-common Version: 5.1.49-3 Severity: minor
mysql-5.1-5.1.49/sql-common/client.c contains (amongst others): | case 27: | if (opt_arg) | options->max_allowed_packet= atoi(opt_arg); | break; This allows max_allow_packet to be specified as found in the attached file, but ONLY as a plain integer and NOT in the common notation eg. "100M" used elsewhere in my.cnf (which is parsed via mysys/my_getopt.c). This difference in parsing can create quite an amount of confusion and should therefore clearly be stated (at least) in the configuration template. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28.7 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Configuration Files: /etc/mysql/my.cnf changed: [client] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock max_allowed_packet = 104857600 [mysqld_safe] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock nice = 0 [mysqld] user = mysql pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock port = 3306 basedir = /usr datadir = /var/lib/mysql tmpdir = /tmp language = /usr/share/mysql/english skip-external-locking bind-address = 0.0.0.0 key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1024M thread_stack = 192K thread_cache_size = 8 myisam-recover = BACKUP query_cache_limit = 1M query_cache_size = 16M general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log general_log = 0 log-error = /var/log/mysql/mysql.err slow_query_log = /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log long_query_time = 2 expire_logs_days = 10 max_binlog_size = 2G innodb_file_per_table ft_min_word_len=2 [myisamchk] ft_min_word_len=2 [mysqldump] quick quote-names max_allowed_packet = 1024M [mysql] [isamchk] key_buffer = 16M !includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/ -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
