Question

Currently I am facing a problem with mysql on Linux Centos. It was stopped abruptly.
So then I tried to start mysql with service mysqld start command, it is giving error –

Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.

I checked the logs with tail -10 /var/log/mysqld.log command, then it shows –

120714  6:48:02  InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 8.0M
120714  6:48:02  InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool

120714  6:48:03  InnoDB: Completed initialization of b-bash-4.1

I am not understanding why this is happening. I am new to Linux and mysql.
Please guys help me to resolve this problem.
Thank you

type “df -h” to see how much space is left on /var/ mount point, could be that there’s no space left in /var/?
