'errno 32 on write'

That's a broken pipe error (Run 'perror 32' in Linux)
Maybe too much data is being pumped in through the pipe.

Instead of this :
/usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root | /usr/bin/gzip -c /backups/mysql_backup.gz

Try it this way :
/usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root > AllData.txt
/usr/bin/gzip -c /backups/mysql_backup.gz < AllData.txt

Subject: mysqldump (in crontab) failing with 'errno 32' even though it worked last week


I use the mysqldump command (as below) in crontab to do a dump of my database
each night.  Up until last week this was working fine.  Last week (when I
was out of the office) there was a problem with the db and a colleague of
mine had to do a manual dump.  When he tried to run mysqldump (using the
same command as I do) he got 'errno 32 on write'.
I just tried to run the command myself and also got 'errno 32 on write'. My
cronjob has also started failing even though crontab has not been changed.
I am very confused given that this exact command was working up until last
week.  Can anyone shed light on what is going on?  This is the command I
use, run as super user:
/usr/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -u root | /usr/bin/gzip -c >
/backups/mysql_backup.gz
