Marko Mäkelä added a comment - 2021-12-02 06:09 Note: A bug in the 10.5.12 release causes the upgrade wizard for Microsoft Windows to abruptly kill the 10.4 server, instead of shutting it down gracefully. This would then lead to the 10.5 server refusing to start up.

Marko Mäkelä added a comment - 2021-09-13 08:10 michaelcaplan , sharpsounds , it is extremely dangerous to ever delete or rename the redo log files. That would remove any quarantee about any changes that may have been written since the latest log checkpoint. Furthermore, using regular copying methods such as rsync while InnoDB is running is not safe, except when you know that the buffer pool does not contain any pending changes and that no changes will be applied while copying. Maybe, if you ran another rsync after the first one and it did not report any changes, it might be somewhat safe, but only if you can guarantee that the redo log file is logically empty. Note that a command like FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will not suspend any InnoDB internal writes from background threads. These include merging the change buffer, purging transaction history, applying changes to fulltext indexes, rotating encryption keys, and updating persistent statistics. Completing a slow shutdown (shutdown with innodb_fast_shutdown=0 ) before the upgrade was never a real requirement. Completing a clean shutdown is. If you perform funny steps, you may get funny results, possibly in the form of weird crashes or corruption some time in the future. If CHECK TABLE does not report errors on any table after such an upgrade, you might be safe. If you do not want to shut down the old server before upgrading, you can use our backup tool to safely copy the data. Before starting the new server, be sure to run mariabackup --prepare on the backed up data directory.

Wesley Oliver added a comment - 2021-09-04 14:34 @Michael Caplan Your fix of removing ib_logfile* files and innodb_fast_shutdown = 0 worked for me too. Different version numbers for me as well. Mine was an incremental upgrade inside a docker environment. No data loss as far as I tell. thanks for the workaround!

Michael Caplan added a comment - 2021-08-25 12:56 @marko similar issue, as described here (version numbers differ) Going through the process of creating a new slave including upgrade process from MariaDB 10.2.22 (serverOld) to 10.5.12 on a new server (serverNew) (as inspired by the brighter mind here ) rsync /var/lib/mysql from serverOld to serverNew On serverOld: FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; SHOW MASTER STATUS; rerun rsync from serverOld to serverNew Release read lock from serverOld Start mariadb on serverNew run mysql_upgrade on serverNew Celebrate and have a nap In actual practice step #5 failed numerous times before what I think is now an okay serverNew Innodb settings between serverOld and serverNew serverOld innodb-flush-method = O_DIRECT innodb-log-files-in-group = 2 innodb-log-file-size = 48M innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit = 2 innodb-file-per-table = 1 innodb-buffer-pool-size = 128M serverNew innodb-flush-method = O_DIRECT innodb-log-file-size = 48M innodb-flush-log-at-trx-commit = 2 innodb-file-per-table = 1 innodb-buffer-pool-size = 128M The only difference is `innodb-log-files-in-group` setting is removed in serverNew, as it has been depricated and removed in 10.5 Upgrade after crash? When attempting to start serverNew, it would fail with the following error: [ERROR] InnoDB: Upgrade after a crash is not supported. The redo log was created with MariaDB 10.2.22. [ERROR] InnoDB: Plugin initialization aborted with error Generic error the log file on serverOld showed no evidence of crashing. None the less, I restarted serverOld, and reran the process above. Still the same issue step #5. Remove ib_logfile* files I then tried forcing the recreation of the redo logs by removing them and then starting up serverNew. This resulted in the following scary errors numerous times: [ERROR] InnoDB: Page [page id: space=0, page number=1984] log sequence number 285722576186 is in the future!

I reran the above steps and still got stuck on step #5 with the following error: [ERROR] InnoDB: Upgrade after a crash is not supported. The redo log was created with MariaDB 10.2.22. [ERROR] InnoDB: Plugin initialization aborted with error Generic error This time, however, when I removed the ib_logfile* files, we seemed to have an okay startup: [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, total size = 134217728, chunk size = 134217728 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool [Note] InnoDB: Setting log file ./ib_logfile101 size to 50331648 bytes [Note] InnoDB: Renaming log file ./ib_logfile101 to ./ib_logfile0 [Note] InnoDB: New log file created, LSN=288830457728 [Note] InnoDB: 128 rollback segments are active.

I'm not feeling confident that this upgrade is actually okay. removing the ib_logfile* seems questionable as a requirement to get the upgrade done. What should I be doing different?

Olaf Buitelaar added a comment - 2021-04-15 09:31 I'm sorry i don't have ib_logfiles any more, and all our are instances are upgraded to 10.5, so i cannot try to reproduce it easily anymore. I solved it by changing the innodb_log_file_size settings to force a rewrite of the logfile.
