If you get an error message like this:

Table './labsupply/db_cache' is marked as crashed and should be repaired.
You can repair the table using the following steps:
1, Login to mysql

# mysql uroot -p

2, change database

mysql> use labsupply
Database changed

3, check table

mysql> check table db_cache;
+——————–+——-+———-+————————————————— ——-+
| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |
+——————–+——-+———-+————————————————— ——-+
| labsupply.db_cache | check | warning | Table is marked as crashed |

Culture of hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Pyrococcus furiosus

1, Method 1

Pyrococcus furiosus cells can be grown at 90 oC in a 100 l enamel-coated fermenter (Braun-Biotech) in a slightly modified medium used for cultivation of Thermococcales containing 1.0 g/l yeast extract (Difco), 5.0 g/l peptone (Difco), 5.0 g/l soluble starch (Merck), 18.4 g/l NaCl, 12.6 g/l MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O,0.16 g/l NaHCO 3, 3.24 g/l Na 2SO4 , 2.38 g/l CaCl 2 ·2H2O, 0.56 g/lKCl, 0.5 g/l L -cysteine and 0.0001% resazurine. Trace minerals (80 mg/l KBr, 57 mg/l SrCl2 ·6H 2 O, 22 mg/l H 3 BO 4, 10 mg/l Na 2 HPO 4 , 4 mg/l sodium metasilicate·5H 2 O, 2.4 mg/l NaF and 1.6 mg/l KNO 3 ) were added from a stock solution. The pH was adjusted to 6.0 with sulphuric acid. The fermenter was gassed with N 2 /CO 2 at a ratio of 80:20 (2 l/min) to remove hydrogen formed during growth of Pyrococcus . The agitation rate was 200 r.p.m. Cells were rapidly cooled before harvesting, collected by centrifugation and stored at -70 C.

2, Method 2

The following describes how the hyperthermophilic archaebacterium, P. furiosus, is routinely grown in a 500 liter fermentor for the purpose of obtaining cell mass in sufficient quantities for large scale protein purification. It is a modified version (Bryant et al., J. Biol. Chem., 264:5070-5079 (1989)) of the original protocol of Fiala et al., Arch. Microbiol., 145:56-61 (1986).

For culture maintenance, P. furiosus (DSM 3638) is routinely grown at 85°-88° C. as a closed static culture in 100 ml of the medium described in Table 2.

    Maltose              5       g/l

MySQL InnoDB database recovery from crash due to disk-full

Cause of crash: Disk full.

when you try to start MySQL using this command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

it failed to start.

So you check log file:

tail -100 /var/log/mysqld.log

and you see:

071120 18:36:06 mysqld started
InnoDB: The log sequence number in ibdata files does not match
InnoDB: the log sequence number in the ib_logfiles!
071120 18:36:06 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
InnoDB: Starting crash recovery.
InnoDB: Reading tablespace information from the .ibd files...
InnoDB: Restoring possible half-written data pages from the doublewrite
InnoDB: buffer...
InnoDB: Last MySQL binlog file position 0 110344596, file name ./mysql-bin.000082
071120 18:36:06 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 3039427084
/usr/libexec/mysqld: File './mysql-bin.000082' not found (Errcode: 2)
071120 18:36:06 [ERROR] Failed to open log (file './mysql-bin.000082', errno 2)
071120 18:36:06 [ERROR] Could not open log file
071120 18:36:06 [ERROR] Can't init tc log
071120 18:36:06 [ERROR] Aborting

071120 18:36:06 InnoDB: Starting shutdown...
071120 18:36:09 InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 3039427084
071120 18:36:09 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete

071120 18:36:09 mysqld ended

Easy fix: open mysql-bin.index, delete all content in the file and restart MySQL again.

How to create a set of Recovery Discs for Sony VAIO Laptop

There are no system recovery discs included with the computer. The recovery data required to return the computer to the original, factory-installed condition is included on a special partition of the hard drive. The following procedure can be used to create a set of recovery discs from that data, which can be used to restore the recovery partition and return the computer to the original, factory-installed condition in case this is ever necessary.

IMPORTANT:

  • Rewritable media can be used to create the recovery discs, but are not recommended.
  • Do not interrupt the power during the recovery process.
  • The number of discs needed to create the set varies by model.

NOTE:The recovery discs are not a backup utility. To save personal data and software installed after purchase or since the last system recovery, use the Backup and Restore Center provided with the Microsoft® Windows Vista™ operating system.

  1. Ensure all open programs are closed.
  2. Ensure all network connections are disconnected.
  3. Ensure all peripheral devices are disconnected.

    NOTE:If the computer uses an external CD/DVD drive, ensure the drive is plugged in according to the instructions in the VAIO User Guide.

  4. From within the VAIO Recovery Center application, under Choose a program, click Create Recovery Discs.

    NOTE:The VAIO Recovery Center can be accessed from within Windows Help and Support. Click Backup & Recovery, then click Launch VAIO Recovery Center.

  5. Next to Create Recovery Discs window, click the Start button.
  6. In the When recovery discs are needed window, click the Next button.
  7. In the Choose your media window, click the Next button.

    NOTE:Although an option is provided for creating Dual Layer (DL) discs, that option will not produce usable discs on this model. Ensure the Create recovery disc(s) using… DVD(s) option remains selected before clicking Next.

  8. Insert a blank, recordable DVD into the DVD drive.
  9. In the Insert a blank disc window, click the OK button.
  10. Insert a new disc when necessary as instructed.
  11. When all the disks have been created, click the Finish button.

    NOTE:After the recovery discs have been created the first time, any disc can be created again by selecting the disc from the list and clicking Next.
