innodb_fast_shutdown (1 reply)

Hi,

MySQL crashes frequently when the physical windows machine is being restarted. I made some investigation regarding how to avoid such crashes and found out that MySQL has issues with reporting to windows the shutdown status, and there for the shutdown isn't complete.
I found innodb_fast_shutdown=2 option, that will perform a quick shutdown and crash recovery on start up.

I wanted to know if any of you is using this option, is it recommended? Is there any risk of data lost when using this option?

We use MySQL version 5.1.32 on windows machine. We use MyISM engine.

Thanks in advance,
Hava
