Let’s show you what means
“That’s specifics of InnoDB data storage.”
Here is the what this specific case will teach you:
- basic debug with strace
- MySQL could hangs in a infinite loop during a shutdown (could be seen with strace)
- InnoDB files could get corrupted without a hardware issue, but with a kill -KILL or probably it was corrupted before the shutdown and the kill?
- list the opened files (and the IDs = file descriptors) of a mysql process
- start a mysql slave without a starting the replication on start with “skip-slave-start”
- Remove a corrupted innodb file, which causes database (mysql process) crash leaving your with no database at all – replace a innodb file, start the server, then drop the innodb table with sql command and recreate it to continue using healthy table
- 2 rows (4 INTEGER columns) could eat up a lot of space – 12G and probably infinite! === “That’s specifics of InnoDB data storage.”
This table file is 12 Gigabytes in size!!!MariaDB [mysql]> select * from gtid_slave_pos; +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+ | domain_id | sub_id | server_id | seq_no | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+ | 0 | 16983943 | 101 | 45790450502 | | 0 | 16983944 | 101 | 45790450503 | +-----------+----------+-----------+-------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is presented a specific case with replication, but in your case you may not use replication, your problem table could be another (and your mariadb/mysql server crashes on start up or selecting from a specific table or on shutdown?), so find the problem table and remove it, here we show you how to do it! BACKUP the mysql datadir BEFORE any intervention!
Here we have a situation: a mariadb (mysql) server running as slave to a really busy master server, so you could expect 10 000 update/insert/delete queries. Everything was working till the time we wanted to shutdown the mysql process, which occurred to be impossible.
STEP 1) We tried everything from “systemctl stop mysql” to kill -TERM multiple times
5 hour the mysql process was running with 2000 opened file descriptors to multiple table files. The strace showed this:
[pid 14824] <... io_getevents resumed> []{0, 500000000}) = 0
[pid 14815] <... io_getevents resumed> []{0, 500000000}) = 0
[pid 14824] io_getevents(139723876253696, 1, 256, <unfinished ...>
[pid 14815] io_getevents(139723876356096, 1, 256, <unfinished ...>

[pid 14852] <... futex resumed> ) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
[pid 14852] futex(0x55d16885dd30, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
[pid 14852] futex(0x55d16885dd5c, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 2775717, {1525268240, 308225000}, ffffffff <unfinished ...>

[pid 14825] futex(0x55d16885dedc, FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET_PRIVATE|FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, 3576263, {1525268240, 304889000}, ffffffff <unfinished ...>
[pid 14862] <... nanosleep resumed> NULL) = 0
[pid 14862] nanosleep({1, 0}, <unfinished ...>
[pid 14821] <... io_getevents resumed> []{0, 500000000}) = 0
[pid 14821] io_getevents(139723876315136, 1, 256, <unfinished ...>
[pid 14820] <... io_getevents resumed> []{0, 500000000}) = 0
And this has been repeating many times for hours without any disk activity on flushing any IO…so no use to wait for something, which apparently won’t finish at all.
STEP 2) So a
kill -9
was used to stop the mysql process. What could go wrong??? InnoDB is awesome and cannot corrupt if the hardware is OK, right? Yeahhh right…
When the start command was executed, the mysql process started, the innodb engine recovery completed successfully and after 5 minutes without listening socket and heavy IO reading there is the segmentation fault crash and YOU have no database….
So here is one of the crashes taken from the log:

STEP 3) So the default way of repairing the InnoDB is to use
innodb_force_recovery
in your my.cnf configuration file:
[mysqld] innodb_force_recovery=1
But again and again crashes even enabling all the options of innodb_force_recovery=1,2,3,4,5 and last 6. But when using “innodb_force_recovery=4” and 5 and 6 we have some strange additional error:
2018-05-02 21:43:34 139667439187712 [ERROR] InnoDB: Failed to find tablespace for table `mysql`.`gtid_slave_pos` in the cache. Attempting to load the tablespace with space id 63584 2018-05-02 21:43:34 139667439187712 [Warning] InnoDB: Allocated tablespace ID 63584 for mysql/gtid_slave_pos, old maximum was 0
The innodb_force_recovery did not help we still cannot start our MySQL database, but there were two things:
- No errors were reported by the InnoDB Engine – “InnoDB: Buffer pool(s) load completed” and Crash recovery always finished without errors
- The MySQL starts successfully, but not listening socket and then after 3~5 minutes of extensive IO reading from the disk by the mysql process it crashes
It was like something big was loading just on the start and in fact needed on the very beginning, so what start immediately after successful load of the mysql process?
REPLICATION
Remember this is a slave!
STEP 4) So trying to prevent the start of the replication on start of the mysql process with:
[mysqld] skip-slave-start
STEP 5) strace and file descritor to find the offender table file.
The skip-slave-start option DID the trick – NO Segmentation fault
the mysql processes immediately after successful engines load began to listen on sockets. So the big offender was probably something connected with the replication! A big table used in the replication? How to find it, ok remove the “skip-slave-start”, then start the mysql process and wait for the time the IO read kicks in, then strace the mysql process (find the ID of the process with ps – the first number of the following command is the ID of the mysql process):
srv@local ~ # ps axuf|grep mysql|grep -v grep
mysql 6969 239 8.3 78561320 10983848 ? Ssl 22:53 108:59 /usr/sbin/mysqld

And again file descriptor with ID=38 is:
/var/lib/mysql/mysql/gtid_slave_pos.ibd
And when you check the size – 12G…..12G for this table? Why? What is used for?
STEP 6) And from the manual:
The mysql.gtid_slave_pos table is used in replication by slave servers to keep track of their current position (the global transaction ID of the last transaction applied). Using the table allows the slave to maintain a consistent value for the gtid_slave_pos system variable across server restarts. See Global Transaction ID. You should never attempt to modify the table directly. If you do need to change the global gtid_slave_pos value, use SET GLOBAL gtid_slave_pos = ... instead. The table is updated with the new position as part of each transaction committed during replication. This makes it preferable that the table is using the same storage engine as the tables otherwise being modified in the transaction, since otherwise a multi-engine transaction is needed that can reduce performance.
Hmm “The table is updated with the new position as part of each transaction committed during replication” and 12G table – could it track minillions of transactions? Probably not, in fact this table has only 2-3-4 rows at a given time!!! But the size is 12G, well as we said this is:
“That’s specifics of InnoDB data storage. Did you try to run OPTIMIZE TABLE mysql.gtid_slave_pos? It should allow to reclaim the disk space.” (taken from: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-12318).
STEP 7) Remove a corrupted innodb file, which causes database (mysql process) crash leaving your with no database at all and then recreate the table
Restart your mysql server with “skip-slave-start” again to be able to start it (look above).
So a table probably with couple of rows takes 12G and MariaDB is using it for the replication on start up, but the replication position is kept on another place “master.info”, can we delete this offender file “gtid_slave_pos.ibd”? Yes we can, move the file out of its place (mysql datadir) and then create a second table with:
MariaDB [mysql]> use mysql
MariaDB [mysql]> CREATE TABLE `gtid_slave_pos1` (
-> `domain_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `sub_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `seq_no` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> PRIMARY KEY (`domain_id`,`sub_id`)
-> ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Replication slave GTID position';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Copy gtid_slave_pos1.ibd to gtid_slave_pos.ibd and restart the mysql process, it will report an error for a table mysql.gtid_slave_pos but you will be able to drop the table and then create it with the same name: “gtid_slave_pos” (you could drop the temporary one “gtid_slave_pos1”)
MariaDB [mysql]> use mysql
MariaDB [mysql]> DROP TABLE `gtid_slave_pos`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
MariaDB [mysql]> CREATE TABLE `gtid_slave_pos` (
-> `domain_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `sub_id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `server_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> `seq_no` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL,
-> PRIMARY KEY (`domain_id`,`sub_id`)
-> ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Replication slave GTID position';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
MariaDB [mysql]> DROP TABLE `gtid_slave_pos1`;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
The create table statement is taken from another server probably it is a good idea to do it yourself, login on a healthy mysql server and issue: “show create table mysql.gtid_slave_pos;”.
So now you have a healthy mysql.gtid_slave_posto be used for your replication. Restart your mysql server removing “skip-slave-start” from your configuration file and here it is the replication is OK and running:
