Same crash here, pasted below. In this workload's case there are approximately 1k temporary InnoDB tables created per second (from Zend) so our first attempt to avoid this crash is to set @@default_storage_engine=MyISAM 130221 5:27:23 InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 140436716721920 in file fil0fil.c line 2415 InnoDB: Failing assertion: node->n_pending == 0 InnoDB: We intentionally generate a memory trap. InnoDB: Submit a detailed bug report to http://bugs.mysql.com. InnoDB: If you get repeated assertion failures or crashes, even InnoDB: immediately after the mysqld startup, there may be InnoDB: corruption in the InnoDB tablespace. Please refer to InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html InnoDB: about forcing recovery. 10:27:23 UTC - mysqld got signal 6 ; 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. 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. Please help us make Percona Server better by reporting any bugs at http://bugs.percona.com/ key_buffer_size=8388608 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=153 max_threads=2000 thread_count=30 connection_count=30 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 4384707 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
