Re: Start slave fails

Thanks Rick. It appears that the only safe way to setup replication is to shutdown the master database completely and take a "cold backup" for the slave.

However, how would this method work in mission critical 24x7 databases? By the way, my backup script does 'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;' before taking the backup. So, does this guarantee a consistent snapshot of the database? If yes, then my earlier problem of replication is still a mystery. If not, I will have to shutdown my production database to setup replication.
