ERROR 1872 (HY000): Slave failed to initialize relay log info structure from the repository

salve复制线程停止，尝试start slave 时报ERROR 1872错误
mysql> system perror 1872

MySQL error code 1872 (ER_SLAVE_RLI_INIT_REPOSITORY): Slave failed to initialize relay log info structure from the repository
解决过程
1.看样子是找不到中继日志的仓库，但是查看变量relay log的位置是设置了的
mysql> show variables like 'relay%';
+---------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| relay_log | relay-log |
| relay_log_basename | /datadir/relay-log |
| relay_log_index | /datadir/relay-log.index |
| relay_log_info_file | relay-log.info

2.master.infor中也记录日志相关的信息，查看后没有发现异常
3.重置复制信息
mysql> reset master;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> show slave status\G
