256GB RAM, 64 Core , AMD running Ubuntu 12.04 with Percona MySQL 5.5.28.

Below is the assertion failure. We just had a second assertion failure (different "in file", position, etc) while running a large set of inserts.

After the first failure, MySQL restarted after a reboot only - after continuously looping on the same error after trying to recover.

I decided to do a mysqlcheck with -o for optimize. Since these are all Innodb tables (very large tables, 60+GB) this would do an alter table on all tables.

In the middle of this , the below assertion failure happened again:

121115 22:30:31  InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 140086589445888 in file btr0pcur.c line 452
InnoDB: Failing assertion: btr_page_get_prev(next_page, mtr) == buf_block_get_page_no(btr_pcur_get_block(cursor))
InnoDB: We intentionally generate a memory trap.

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
Please help us make Percona Server better by reporting any
bugs at http://bugs.percona.com/

key_buffer_size=536870912
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=404
max_threads=500
thread_count=90
connection_count=90
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 1618416 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

You may download the Percona Server operations manual by visiting
http://www.percona.com/software/percona-server/. You may find information
in the manual which will help you identify the cause of the crash.

121115 22:31:07 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
121115 22:31:07 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins

.. Then it recovered , without a reboot this time. from the log, what would cause this?

I am currently running a dump to see if the problem resurfaces. - mysqldump completed fine. I am now trying to restore the entire database from the dump.

edit: data partition is all in / since this is a hosted, defaulted file system unfortunately:

  • posting your my.cnf and data partition details may help

  • done. I have posted the my.cnf and partition table.

  • As the error would suggest, table space corruption, since an alter is going to touch the whole table space. It smells like a possible hardware issue, have you run diagnostics on the array/each disk and the controller?

  • I will have to get my host to do that. This is on a dedicated hosted system. thanks for the input.

  • The output from dmesg or /var/log/messages would likely be helpful as well

I had a similar crash in the same line of code, with little explanation as to why.
