Error in do_innodb_recover with MySQL 5.1.x

[Brian Evans]

When MySQL 5.1 is compiled without ndbcluster, the following error occurs in do_innodb_recover during the mysql bootstrap.

[ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-ndbcluster'

Perhaps this should be moved to a configuration option. MySQL upstream is deprecating ndb in the standard, Community, builds and requiring special build trees with 5.1+. They are also not building binaries with the old ndb in the Community downloads.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster.html for details (2nd paragraph).

Good spotting, thanks for reporting this! I'll take a look at this.

This is now fixed in the trunk and will be included in version 0.14. I added "--skip-syslog" to the options that are passed to the recovery instance. Additionally, I made these options configurable by moving them into a new configuration variable "recoveryopts", which now default to "--skip-networking --skip-grant --bootstrap --skip-syslog --skip-slave-start".

This also resolves BUG#1091950, which is a similar issue.

Correction to comment #2 (cut & paste error): "--skip-syslog" was added, and "--skip-ndbcluster" was removed.
