Bug Description

Binary package hint: mysql-cluster-server

In MySQL Cluster 7.0, config is cached in a binary format. MySQL Cluster does not re-read /etc/mysql/ndb_mgmd.cnf (or any other config file) when starting ndb_mgmd unless using [ /usr/bin/ndb_mgmd --reload || /usr/bin/ndb_mgmd --initial ]. Even rebooting the server does not reload config from the config file, it must be reloaded.

The init scripts included in this package, when run as
/etc/init.d/mysql-ndb-mgm force-reload
simply run a stop/start of the service. Therefore, the config is NOT reloaded. There is also no method provided in the init script to start with " --initial"

After reading the init scripts and the manuals for ndb_mgmd here:

I think this is true, and I'm marking it as Confirmed. Setting Importance to High, as this could be very confusing and hard to resolve without the --reload and --initial switches being passed at some point in the script.

Changed in mysql-cluster-7.0 (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
importance: Undecided → High
