Re: Upgrade from 5.5 to 5.6 is causing 'MySQL server has gone away'

[Peter Brawley]

Each MySQL version does more, so each version needs more resources.

The error log excerpt is after the crash (which left transactions incomplete). Is there an entry just before that? If not, perhaps the OS error log will have a report on running out of memory or disk space or some such.

A buffer pool of 128M is teeniny. Can we see the result of ...

select engine,data,indexes,total
from (
  select 
    ifnull(engine,'TOTALS') as engine, 
    concat(data,' GB') as data, 
    concat(indexes,' GB') as indexes, 
    concat(tot,' GB') as total,
    if(engine is null,-1,tot) as ord
  from (
    select   
      engine,  
      round( sum(data_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as data,  
      round( sum(index_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as indexes,  
      round( sum(data_length+index_length)/1024/1024/1024, 2 ) as tot
    from information_schema.tables
    where engine is not null 
      and engine not in('information_schema','performance_schema')
    group by engine with rollup
  ) sums
) list
order by list.ord desc;

... and of ...

Show Engine InnoDB Status;

... at the time the errors occur.
