Hi.. I've got an ISP, and all of our customers have databases in our mysql system.
My backup command is: mysqldump --force --opt -A -pxxxxxxxx' | gzip -c > /var/sqlbackup/mysqldump-`date +\%A`.sql.gz This has worked fine for some time. Now, however, I get an error message: mysqldump: Got error: 1017: Can't find file: './usr_web22_1/invoices_va.frm' (errno: 24) when using LOCK TABLES On different runs, it reports different files, even right after restarting mysqld. I've looked at the mysql documentation for this error; it's at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Not_enough_file_handles.html I've looked at the startup script, put in '--open-files-limit=1024', restarted mysql, and the error is the same. I've looked at the table_cache and max_connections system variables, which are 64 and 100, respectively. My question is: what should I do now? Since table_cache and max_connections are far less than 1024, do I reduce them even further? Is there something else I should be looking at? This is mysql-3.23.52-106 on SuSE Linux 8.1, running on a dual PIII 866Mhz system, with 512M of ram and 1G of swap, on a RAID-1 pair of 17G hard drives.
