I'm suspecting fallocate() on zfs. To reproduce, one can follow these steps:
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/* mysqld --initialize This will produce a zero-sized file: # ll /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile1 -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 0 Apr 18 17:37 /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile1 Attempting to start mysql now will fail with this error: 2022-04-18T17:41:30.181861Z 1 [ERROR] [MY-012963] [InnoDB] Log file ./ib_logfile1 is of different size 0 bytes than other log files 17809408 bytes! On a working system, that file is not zero-sized. straceing mysqld --initialize shows: 2253 openat(AT_FDCWD, "./ib_logfile1", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0640) = 3 2253 fcntl(3, F_SETLK, {l_type=F_WRLCK, l_whence=SEEK_SET, l_start=0, l_len=0}) = 0 2253 fallocate(3, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, 0, 50331648) = 0 2253 fsync(3) = 0 2253 close(3) = 0 There have been previous bugs with zfs and fallocate(): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1847105 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/326 I tried --innodb-extend-and-initialize and --skip-innodb-extend-and- initialize, from https://dev.mysql.com/worklog/task/?id=13782, but both ended up using fallocate(). A quick attempt with using the dir backend for lxd worked. Further investigation needs to be done. ** Bug watch added: github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues #326 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/326 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1969247 Title: mysql-server install crashes in LXD container on Jammy host To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-8.0/+bug/1969247/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
