Daevid, --The logfiles are the same size so I assume that's configured right?
They should be. If you copied the file over, mysql isn't going to increase/decrease the size of the file (because it already exists). I suspect that you didn't save the old my.cnf file. The only other question I have is why is the "New" file smaller than the original. innodb doesn't shrink files to the best of my knowledge (or at least, it hasn't for me) -- or did you mean that the top one is the new, and the bottom one is the old.. So, looking a little harder at your files, I bet you tried to start myself against the USB device directly, on the first try, it failed, so you copied the data over to the local disk and you have been trying to recover it since. I say that because the time stamp on the usb (new or old ones) but have July 14th as the dates... I think as others have mentioned, the startup recovery flags might be your best bet. ________________________________________ From: Daevid Vincent [dae...@daevid.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 12:23 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Cc: Gary Smith Subject: RE: Copy 70GB ibdata, etc. and server won't start now > -----Original Message----- > From: Gary Smith [mailto:g...@primeexalia.com] > Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 8:54 PM > To: Daevid Vincent; mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: RE: Copy 70GB ibdata, etc. and server won't start now > > > InnoDB: Your database may be corrupt or you may have copied > the InnoDB > > InnoDB: tablespace but not the InnoDB log files.
