[MySQL CE 5.54] Replication always stopping at 2:30am (no replies)

Hi guys,

so i'm having this interesting issue:

I have a master-slave setup running and for some unexplainable reason it stops everyday at more or less precisely 2:30am (or at least that's where the mysql_general.log shows the last commit). I'm using row-based replication and my databases are a mix of myisam and innodb.

show slave status \G is showing no errors, just an ever increasing "seconds behind master" value. I've monitoring on the server and interestingly enough it shows a very obvious thing happening on the LV that the database resides on:

During regular hours when replication is working i have a consistent amount of writes per second - as one would expect - but right at 2:30 it suddenly stops. Instead it starts generating massive (in relation to the average value) reads. Mysqld.log and slow log show no errors.


I've checked for the obvious sources like cronjobs/backups running but neither of those seem to be in place (crontabs and /etc/cron.daily are clean - only logrotate and mlocate and backup for the slave has been disabled)

Does anybody have any suggestions where i could look next/what the possible source of this issue could be?

Thanks already.
