innodb_fast_shutdown
Command-Line Format
Option-File Format
Option Sets Variable
Variable Name
Variable Scope
Dynamic Variable
The shutdown mode. By default, the value is 1, which causes a "fast" shutdown (the normal
InnoDB
type of shutdown). If the value is 0,
shutdown. These operations can take minutes, or even hours in extreme cases. If the value is 1,
skips these operations at shutdown. If the value is 2,
InnoDB
shut down cold, as if MySQL had crashed; no committed transaction will be lost, but crash recovery
will be done at the next startup. The value of 2 can be used as of MySQL 5.0.5, except that it cannot
be used on NetWare.

innodb_file_io_threads

Option-File Format
Option Sets Variable
Variable Name
Variable Scope
Dynamic Variable
The number of file I/O threads in InnoDB. Normally, this should be left at the default value of 4, but
disk I/O on Windows may benefit from a larger number. On Unix, increasing the number has no
effect; always uses the default value.
