Good strategy to replicate MySQL data I'm working on MySQL database, well i have a master instance and slaves, and i need to add a new slave to Master. I adopt a simple strategy to do so: Stop slave, import data to new slave, and finally start new slave.

Well i get a dump using mysqldump, and import data even i get lot of lock. Some queries have the state update, so i did not know if it is a innodb lock or input/ouput error.

Finally, i imported the hole of data, but i suspect later that the binary log was missing on master, because the rotation log was for 1 day.

My question is how to do a good replication master->slave?
