hi, thank you for you quick replies! :) data is imported "locally" via mysql client. i tried it with 3 nodes, and just with one in bootstrap-pxc mode. same result. the line is not everytime exactly the same, so i think it is not a single "INSERT" statement that is wrong. but it crashed within a range of +/- 100 lines (insert statements) oh, with a 5.5 version this was no problem! just this "brand new" 5.6er version has troubles. what other info do you require? I did the import many times, there i made this script to have the same results every time: IMPORT SCRIPT: /storage/admin/scripts/do_import__test.sh #!/bin/sh ( date; mysql --show-warnings --unbuffered --debug-info -v -v -v -f otrs_test < /storage/dbbackup/otrs_prod.sql; date ) > /storage/log/import__test.log 2>&1 # EOF ---------------------------------------------- the SQL import file : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25G Jan 4 02:45 /storage/dbbackup/otrs_prod.sql CONFIG: egrep -v '^#' my.cnf [client] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysqld_safe] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock nice = 0 [mysqld] user = mysql pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock port = 3306 basedir = /usr datadir = /var/lib/mysql tmpdir = /tmp lc-messages-dir = /usr/share/mysql bind-address = 0.0.0.0 myisam-recover = BACKUP explicit_defaults_for_timestamp = true slow_query_log = 1 slow_query_log_file = /var/log/mysql/slow_queries.log log-output = FILE long_query_time = 10000 log-queries-not-using-indexes = 1 general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/general.log general-log = 0 log-error = /var/log/mysql/error.log log_warnings = 3 verbose join_buffer_size = 128M thread_stack = 512k thread_cache_size = 80 table_open_cache = 1024 key_buffer_size = 256M max_allowed_packet = 64M net_buffer_length = 1M read_rnd_buffer_size = 256M read_buffer_size = 256M sort_buffer_size = 512M myisam_sort_buffer_size = 1024M max_connections = 250 wait_timeout = 600 interactive_timeout = 3000 tmp_table_size = 2048M max_tmp_tables = 256 max_heap_table_size = 512M innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend innodb_buffer_pool_size = 4096M innodb_log_file_size = 128M innodb_log_buffer_size = 128M innodb_file_per_table default_storage_engine = InnoDB query_cache_type = 0 query_cache_size = 0 log_slave_updates = 1 skip-name-resolve transaction-isolation = 'READ-COMMITTED' expire_logs_days = 2 max_binlog_size = 100M binlog_format = ROW log_bin = /storage/bin-logs/DB01/mysql-bin.log wsrep_cluster_name = "Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-LLL-01" wsrep_provider = /usr/lib/libgalera_smm.so wsrep_notify_cmd = /etc/mysql/bin/wsrep_notify wsrep_cluster_address = gcomm://10.10.17.73:4567,10.10.17.74:4567,10.10.17.75:4567 server-id = 101 wsrep_node_name = "LLLC1Node1" wsrep_node_address = 10.10.17.73 wsrep_sst_method = xtrabackup-v2 wsrep_sst_auth = user:pass [sst] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock streamfmt = xbstream use_extra = 0 [xtrabackup] target_dir = /data/backups/mysql/ [innobackupex] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [mysqldump] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock quick quote-names max_allowed_packet = 16M [mysql] socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [isamchk] key_buffer = 16M [mysqlhotcopy] interactive-timeout
