ndbd — The NDB Cluster Data Node Daemon Causes an  ndbd  process that was previously installed as a Windows service to be removed. Optionally, you can specify a name for the service to be uninstalled; if not set, the service name defaults to  ndbd . The  --remove  option has no effect on non-Windows platforms. Display help text and exit; same as --help. Causes extra debug output to be written to the node log. You can also use  NODELOG DEBUG ON  and  NODELOG DEBUG OFF  to enable and disable this extra logging while the data node is running. Display version information and exit. ndbd  generates a set of log files which are placed in the directory specified by  DataDir  in the config.ini  configuration file. These log files are listed below.  node_id  is and represents the node’s unique identifier. For example, ndb_2_error.log  is the error log generated by the data node whose node ID is  2 . Listings of possible  ndbd  exit codes and messages generated when a data node process shuts down prematurely can be found in Data Node Error Messages. The last entry in the error log file is not necessarily the newest one  (nor is it likely to be). Entries in the error log are  not  listed in chronological order; rather, they correspond to the order of the trace files as determined in the Date/Time: Saturday 30 July 2004 - 00:20:01 Type of error: error Message: Internal program error (failed ndbrequire) Fault ID: 2341 Problem data: DbtupFixAlloc.cpp Object of reference: DBTUP (Line: 173) ProgramName: NDB Kernel ProcessID: 14909 TraceFile: ndb_2_trace.log.2 ***EOM*** Important 4247 •  ndb_ node_id _error.log  is a file containing records of all crashes which the referenced  ndbd process has encountered.
