You should be open to this, they recreated the lihnux in such a way that is unbreakable. UNBREAKABLE!!!! Don’t you want your mysql to be unbreakable?

Comment on Working around the Percona MySQL RPM dependancy conflict on RHEL/CentOS 5 by jim

Thanks for the catch Onno.

In related good news, percona is now offering a yum repo with the -compat package to address this! I haven’t had a chance to test it yet but I’ll edit the post when I do.

Thanks for this, but you have a small error in your rpm commands. you use: rpm -Uvh, but that won’t do the trick. It just removes the other ’shared-compat’ package. So when you install (or more precise update) the MySQL-shared-percona-5.1.39-8.rhel5.x86_64.rpm package, MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.39-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm will be removed together with the libs where this is all about. ;o)

So just use ‘rpm -ivh –force’ instead of ‘rpm -Uvh –force’ and it will do the job for you.

Thanks!

Comment on using sed to replace a single value in a config file by vito

The -i flag doesn’t _need_ an argument and you only need -e if you’re going to use multiple expressions. Stop making it more complicated than it needs to be.

Speaking of sed, I like to do stuff like this:

# comment out every line containing "somepattern" for line in `grep -n somepattern /etc/somefile |cut -d: -f1`; do sed -i "${line}s/^/\#/g" /etc/somefile done

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your help on my Serverfault question: Help me understand mk-heartbeat

It looks like you have some experience with VMWare?:

http://serverfault.com/questions/22664/vmware-host-time-drift/22810#22810

We have a production install at a Hosting Provider that offers IaaS via VMWare Instrastructure. I became quite familiar with that best practices document. I also learned about /sbin/ifup-pre-local :-)

Anyway, seems like we cover the same sort of ground so send me an email if you want to chat further.

Cheers

Jason

ugh, who uses $() instead of back ticks? and who uses perl instead of sed for a simple search and replace?

Comment on Joyent’s selling a MySQL package, complete with iffy benchmarks by jim

Hi luckyland. Everyplace I’ve seen do it does it via separate handles/vips, but they claim to have gotten the packet inspection down the point where you don’t need to alter code. Raises a lot of spooky questions, but still impressive that they rolled it out.
