[rt-users] problem with Attachments table prevents DB dump

[Gary Hall]

Folks,

For the past couple of days the mysqldump command that I use to back up 
my RT database has been failing with the following message:

mysqldump: Error 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when 
dumping table `Attachments` at row: 216061

I'm running mysqldump thusly:

mysqldump --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/backup_creds.cnf 
--default-character-set=binary --opt --flush-logs --databases rt3_fas

If anyone has any insight into what may be causing this problem and how 
it may be remedied, I'd be grateful to hear from him or her.
