HI.
Regarding the use of "ndbd --initial"
Unfortunately, here is a quote from Geert Vanderkelen from some months back
"
--initial removes all files in the data node's data directory, so it's
not really needed (or wise IMHO) to specify this for a new ndbd you are
starting. A new ndbd which has no data will get its data from its
partner without this option just fine.
Please be VERY careful with this option. (Again, IMHO, this option has
to be removed or renamed.)
You rarely have to use it. Actually, if you have to use it, it means
your NDB filesystem is corrupted or something else makes the ndbd
impossible to start. If that happens, it's either a bug or a underlining
OS filesystem problem.
I'm more fan just emptying the data node's data directory manually than
using --initial.
We've seen mistakes with the option, and it was _no fun_!
.."
As for the proper command - " --reload" as stated by reza@... just now
is what I would use.
