A future version (4.0) of MySQL will remove the need to keep a
(possibly large) snapshot of data for new slaves that you might wish to
set up through the live backup functionality with no locking required.
However, at this time, it is necessary to block all writes either with a
global read lock or by shutting down the master while taking a snapshot.
Starting in 4.0.0, one can use @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} to set up
a slave. Note that 4.0.0 slaves cannot communicate with 3.23 masters, but 4.0.1
and later version slaves can. 3.23 slave cannot talk to 4.0 master.
You must also be aware that @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} currently works only
if all the tables on the master are @code{MyISAM} type, and will acuire a
global read lock, so no writes are possible while the tables are being
transferred from the master. This limitation is of a temporary nature, and is
due to the fact that we have not yet implemented hot lock-free table backup.
It will be removed in the future 4.0 branch versions once we implemented hot
backup enabling @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} to work without blocking master
updates.
Due to the above limitation, we recommend that at this point you use
@code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} only if the dataset on the master is relatively
small, or if a prolonged read lock on the master is acceptable. While the
actual speed of @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} may vary from system to system,
a good rule for a rough estimate of how long it is going to take is 1 second
per 1 MB of the data file. You will get close to the estimate if both master
and slave are equivalent to 700 MHz Pentium, are connected through
100 MBit/s network, and your index file is about half the size of your data
file. Of course, your mileage will vary from system to system, the above rule
just gives you a rough order of magnitude estimate.
Once a slave is properly configured and running, it will simply connect
to the master and wait for updates to process. If the master goes away

While the above method is the most straightforward way to set up a slave,
it is not the only one. For example, if you already have a snapshot
of the master, and
the master already has server id set and binary logging enabled, one can
set up a slave without shutting the master down or even blocking the updates.

@subsection Replication FAQ
@strong{Q}: How do I configure a slave if the master is already running
and I do not want to stop it?
@strong{A}: There are several options. If you have taken a backup of the
master at some point and recorded the binlog name and offset ( from the
output of @code{SHOW MASTER STATUS} ) corresponding to the snapshot, do
the following:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Make sure unique server id is assigned to the slave.
@item
Execute @code{CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='master-host-name',
MASTER_USER='master-user-name', MASTER_PASSWORD='master-pass',
MASTER_LOG_FILE='recorded-log-name', MASTER_LOG_POS=recorded_log_pos}
@item
Execute @code{SLAVE START}
@end itemize
If you do not have a backup of the master already, here is a quick way to
do it consistently:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK}
@item
@code{gtar zcf /tmp/backup.tar.gz /var/lib/mysql} ( or a variation of this)
@item
@code{SHOW MASTER STATUS} - make sure to record the output - you will need it
later
@item
@code{UNLOCK TABLES}
@end itemize
Afterwards, follow the instructions for the case when you have a snapshot and
have records the log name and offset. You can use the same snapshot to set up
several slaves. As long as the binary logs of the master are left intact, you
can wait as long as several days or in some cases maybe a month to set up a
slave once you have the snapshot of the master. In theory the waiting gap can
be infinite. The two practical limitations is the diskspace of the master
getting filled with old logs, and the amount of time it will take the slave to
catch up.
In version 4.0.0 and newer, you can also use @code{LOAD DATA FROM
MASTER}. This is a convenient command that will take a snapshot,
restore it to the slave, and adjust the log name and offset on the slave
all at once. In the future, @code{LOAD DATA FROM MASTER} will be the
recommended way to set up a slave. Be warned, howerver, that the read
lock may be held for a long time if you use this command. It is not yet
implemented as efficiently as we would like to have it. If you have
large tables, the preferred method at this time is still with a local
@code{tar} snapshot after executing @code{FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK}.
@strong{Q}: Does the slave need to be connected to the master all the time?
@strong{A}: No, it does not. You can have the slave go down or stay
disconnected for hours or even days, then reconnect, catch up on the
updates, and then disconnect or go down for a while again. So you can,
for example, use master-slave setup over a dial-up link that is up only
for short periods of time. The implications of that are that at any
given time the slave is not guaranteed to be in sync with the master
unless you take some special measures. In the future, we will have the
option to block the master until at least one slave is in sync.
@strong{Q}: How do I force the master to block updates until the slave catches
up?
@strong{A}: Execute the following commands:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Master: @code{FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK}
@item
Master: @code{SHOW MASTER STATUS} - record the log name and the offset
@item
Slave: @code{SELECT MASTER_POS_WAIT('recorded_log_name', recorded_log_offset)}
When the select returns, the slave is currently in sync with the master
@item
Master: @code{UNLOCK TABLES} - now the master will continue updates.
@end itemize
@cindex @code{Binlog_Dump}
@strong{Q}: Why do I sometimes see more than one @code{Binlog_Dump} thread on
the master after I have restarted the slave?
