I have a very simple setup of a master MySQL DB with one slave MySQL DB replicating from it.
Initially, when setting up the slave, I used mysqldump to get an initial DB dump from the master like this :
mysqldump --single-transaction --master-data some_db > someSQL.sql
Then I go to my slave DB, created a brand new DB named "some_db" and then tried to reverse dump:
mysql -uroot --one-database some_db < someSQL.sql
But then I did a comparison of the DB sizes on the MySQL prompt and noticed that the master's some_db's size is around 7.6 gigs, but that of the slave's is only 6.4gigs.
I find this is concerning because I am wondering if certain data got lost. From what I understand, the DB does not contain blobs or any triggers, so where did that missing 1.2 gigs probably go?
Please let me know what your thoughts are.
Thanks IS
