I have this error in my syslog. I restored an older dump to solve this problem, after some reading. Now The errors in syslog are far less than before.

But still a few times an hour I get

Anybody that knows how I can track what database is causing this issue? And how to fix?

There is inconsistency between the data files and the ib_logfile[0|1]-s. For me this can happen if I didn't run --apply-log when using innobackupex.

Try shut down the server, move the ib_logfiles into a different directory, and restart process. New logfiles will be created. (If it fails again, you can move back the original files)

  • I had this innodb is in the future message after resetting a broken slave using xtrabackup and could not work out why: I'd forgotten the --apply-log step - documentation now updated!
