innodb crash after yum update

Last night I updated to the latest version of Percona 5.5 server.
I did a yum update then shutdown -r now (had to reboot for kernel updates)

MySQL was still running when I did this upgrade and wasn’t shutdown by the rpm scripts
because we have several instances running so they don’t use the default /etc/init.d/mysql init script.

Previous shutdown not from last night:

Last nights shutdown after yum update:

So it looks like it started to shutdown but then didn’t complete properly?
Would installing new binaries before shutting down mysql cause this to happen?
The binaries should be in memory do I don’t see why it would.

Hi,

Looks like it was not happened because of binaries update but when you shutdown with "shutdown -r ", it was shutdown at OS level that had not waited long enough to let normal shutdown completely. Probably MySQL had no chances to stop cleanly so it just got crash error and started recovery.
