Unable to DROP table, Data Dict problem

 

Hi Folks,

We run a very large infra on MariaDB/RHEL6.x/RHEV/NetApp; thousands of
VMs, each running MariaDB and very busy. MariaDB is 5.5.32.

We recently had some NFS problems which led to minor DB corruption.
Luckily, the corruption was isolated to a table holding cache data,
and in fact one that is empty in most of our instances. That's the
good news.

The bad news is that the data dict is really unhappy about that table.

 - Cannot drop it, we get a nasty stack trace at [1]

 - Stopping MariaDB, removing the table by hand, restarting MariaDB,
attempting to re-create the table hits a data dict error [2]. On disk
I can see it created an ibd file, but no frm file. Following the
instructions at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-troubleshooting-datadict.html
does not help.

I have straced the process, and it does not seem to even try to create
the frm file, so it really looks like it's internal state (data dict),
not errors from further down the stack. OS / kernel logs are clean.

Is there any reasonable method to cure this "in place" with minimal
disruption? (These are large DBs, dump restore is more than awkward.)

Oh and careful with NFSv4 :-/

thank you!

1 - Stack trace when trying to drop table

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

To report this bug, see http://kb.askmonty.org/en/reporting-bugs

We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

Server version: 5.5.32-MariaDB-log
key_buffer_size=134217728
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=187
thread_count=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads =
182265 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
