Completely reinstalled the cluster with completely new config. This time on dedicated hardware (6-core, 32GB servers). Exactly the same happens; as soon as some queries are executed the server on which those queries were excuted crashes. We're beginning to feel a bit hopeless about this. This MUST be our fault but we can't figure out what's happening. And then again - we don't think the crashing is by design either. It would be nice if someone could point us in SOME direction... Bump. 121213 21:12:00 [ERROR] WSREP: FSM: no such a transition REPLICATING -> REPLICATING 20:12:00 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.
