RE: Setup a replication slave without stopping master

[Theodore Petkantchin]

Claudio, 

please provide details: 
Which engine (InnoDB or MyISAM) are you running? 
Which MySQL version are you running?
What is the OS? 
What is the files system?

Regards
Theo

Subject: Setup a replication slave without stopping master

All, Happy New Year, and let's hope somebody tries to stop the killing
in
gaza.

I need to setup a replication slave off a master that is currently
production and not stoppable or lockable(possibly).

Do you have any idea on how to setup the slave with minimum or no impact
on
the master?

The database is about 80GB.

Thanks

C.
