[mythtv-users] MySQL too slow in startup?

[Mark Wormgoor]

Hi,

I am having a problem with MythTV and MySQL on my backend system.  MySQL
loads during the initrd process and I start mythbackend in rc.local
(after loading ivtv).

But apparently, MySQL is too slow starting up, since I cannot connect
yet in rc.local.  

Mysqld.log shows it is ready:
  050320 08:43:59  mysqld started
  /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections

But Mythbackend cannot yet connect:
  2005-03-20 08:44:06.869 Unable to connect to database!
  2005-03-20 08:44:07.190 Driver error was [1/1045]:
  QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
  Database error was:
  Access denied for user: 'mythtv at localhost' (Using password: YES)

  Couldn't open database
  2005-03-20 08:44:24.198 Unable to connect to database!
  2005-03-20 08:44:24.312 Driver error was [1/1045]:
  QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
  Database error was:
  Access denied for user: 'mythtv at localhost' (Using password: YES)

  Couldn't open database

When I restart mythbackend later manually, there is no problem.  It
seems like MySQL needs a lot of time loading the database.  It is a
large database (45MB) compared to the other databases (< 4 MB).

Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a way to fix it?

Kind regards,

Mark
