About the MySQL Cluster Each MySQL Cluster host computer running an SQL node must have a MySQL binary installed. For management nodes and data nodes, it is not necessary to install the MySQL server binary, but management nodes require the management server daemon (ndb_mgmd) and data nodes require the data node daemon (ndbd). It is also a good idea to install the management client (ndb_mgm) on the management server host. This section covers the steps necessary to install the correct binaries for each type of Cluster node. This may be confusing but will make sense later. In this example, we will use 5 Debian Lenny servers. You should start with a clean operating system installation for this tutorial. If you've already tried installing MySQL packages, you may have problems due to inconsistencies. All steps below should be performed as root. The 5 servers to be used in this tutorial are as follows: mysqlmanagement.example.com: 192.168.1.10 [ mysqlmanagement ] mysqlnode1....

Look for the correct disk size and ext3 or ext4 format. Mount your normal system partition: Code: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt If you aren't sure if you mounted the correct partition, once it's mounted run "nautilus /mnt" to inspect the partition. If it is the correct partition, you should see the normal Ubuntu folders such as /bin, /boot, /etc, /home, etc Example: sudo mount /dev/sd a1 /mnt Note: The partition to mount is normally the partition on which Ubuntu was installed: sda1, sdb5, etc. If you have a ...

What is inode? In  computing , an  index-node  (inode) is a  data structure  on a traditional  Unix -style  file system  such as  UFS . An inode stores all the information about a regular  file ,  directory , or other  file system  object, except its data and name. (as defined in Wikipedia) The Inode is a pivitol structure within the Unix filesystem. The purposes of an inode is to hold all the information about a file you would normally expect to see in a directory entry on another system - file size, location, access & modification times, ownership, etc. To exist in a filesystem every file must have a inode. Directories, symbolic links, device files and pipes all have inodes. When the inode table is full so is your filesystem, no matter what 'df' is saying about the amount of free space. The size of the inode table is fixed when it is created, there is no command to extend it. Solari...
