If you are getting the following error when trying to dump a large mysql database:
mysqldump: Error 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when dumping table XXX
Then try using the --opt flag and save to a .sql.gz file to reduce the IO and the buffering.
Example command would be something like:
mysqldump --opt --quick --max_allowed_packet=1G -h *host* -u *User* -p*Passwort* *database* | gzip > /path/to/sql.gz
That should fix the issue.
Additionally, you can try to the following in /etc/my.cnf:
1. Raise the max packet value to 100M or higher.
2. Comment out timeout value if it's enabled.
Don't forget to restart the MySQL server.
I had never heard of AYK Solutions before, but they had an awesome deal I couldn't pass up on WHT. So far the service has been exceptional, and the server is rock solid. I'll be moving my other servers here soon!
Prompt support, on New Years Eve of all days. Fixed issue within 10 minutes of submitting.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
