I strongly recommend going with 4.x on both boxes. Once I > upgraded the master, everything went smoothly. What problems did you have? I ran a 3.x master with 4.x slaves for a while during a migration I did on my infrastructure. Obviously load data from master isn't supported, so I had to go with the less than ideal tar'ing under a read lock of the database files, however it was do-able. > > Rick > > > Thanks in advance for the advice and counsel. > > > > > > Jeff Koch Also, if anybody here also uses big brother to monitor their servers, I've got a perl extension I wrote for monitoring mysql replication that works for MySQL 4.x (monitors both the IO thread and the sql thread).
