Master and a slave replication. few days back I have switched slave machine (innodb_file_per_table) from single innodb file to one per file table. Now I want to do for Master. Now question, Is it recommendable this method, stop MYSQL services on both and copy mysql file's at system level (using scp or rync) form slave machine to master (after deleting ibdata1 and ib_log). update the variable innodb_file_per_table to switch master to one per file table. and start master.. or I can go with usual process.. export and import. And suggestion? Best Regards, Prabhat Kumar MySQL DBA My Blog: http://adminlinux.blogspot.com My LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/profileprabhat --001517740ae05b0eaf04acec4d4a--
