Re: Is bad hardware confusing MySQL and InnoDB?

Hi Maurice,

You say the MySQL data wasn't on the stuck volume, but were the InnoDB logs?

What is the disk configuration?

It sounds to me like bad hardware/software, which, unfortunately MySQL
and InnoDB cannot protect you from...

Regards,

Jeremy
