Next Steps ============ The mysqlhotcopy tarball for the recovered "channelquality_db" was prepared using a mysql server on belle1.nuu.edu.tw installed for this purpose with precisely the same mysql version 5.0.45-community as that used on dybdb1.ihep.ac.cn. Next steps summary for the parts I am aware of: 1. Qiumei extracts "channelquality_db" hotcopy tarball onto dybdb1 http://belle7.nuu.edu.tw/e/mysqlhotcopy/mysql_repair_table_live/#dybdb1-extraction-instructions-for-qiumei [this will bring free space on the server /data down to ~9G] Testing the extraction of the 2.3G tarball onto belle7 took less than 5 min, creating a ~9.2G database directory. Other approaches such as digesting a mysqldump or CSV files were vetoed as they took ~40-70 min during which time the server was unresponsive. 2. Simon, Gaosong test that "channelquality_db" is equivalent to "tmp_ligs_offline_db" up to SEQNO 323573. To facilitate comparison will instruct Qiumei to do a "repair table" to DqChannelStatus on the server [early next week] 3. Qiumei installs cron invoked disk space monitoring script on the server http://belle7.nuu.edu.tw/e/db/valmon/ 4. Once "channelquality_db" is validated Qiumei can drop "tmp_ligs_offline_db" to free ~10G disk space on the server [back to ~19G free on the server] 5. Miao/Gaosong re-fill into "channelquality_db" the lost entries with SEQNO > 323573 [estimated 2 days] [guess down to ~17G] 6. Simon runs the compression script creating DqChannelPacked+Vld [running time was 26hrs up to SEQNO 323000, so estimate ~1 day to extend that to cover the KUP re-filling] The packed tables are a factor of 125 times smaller than the profligate DqChannelStatus, so mysqldump loading can be used to propagate the new table into offline_db 7. Liang load mysqldump into offline_db.DqChannelPacked+Vld 8. Brett tests service reading from offline_db.DqChannelPacked 9. Craig, Weidong provide solution for tight disk space situation on the server. A new disk ? A new server ? Operating with such a tight disk space situation on our primary DB server is asking for trouble.
