Couple of days ago, a different node crashed: 08:49:21 UTC - mysqld got signal 11 ; 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 XtraDB Cluster better by reporting any bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-xtradb-cluster key_buffer_size=8388608 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=1263 max_threads=4002 thread_count=35 connection_count=2 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 1602318 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. Thread pointer: 0x3a6f0770 Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died.
