I've read several of the related topics posted here, but I have not been able to avoid this innodb error.
The steps I've taken to replicate data from a Slackware server - 5.5.27-log (S) to a FreeBSD slave - 5.5.21-log (F) were these:
- (S) 
flush tables with read lock; - (S) in another terminal 
show master status; - (S) stop mysqld via command line in third terminal;
 - (F) while both servers are stopped, 
rsyncmysql datadir from (S), excluding master.info, mysql-bin and relay-* files; Also triedrsyncof all files; - (F) start mysqld (skip-slave)

InnoDB: Your database may be corrupt or you may have copied the InnoDB InnoDB: tablespace but not the InnoDB log files. See InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html InnoDB: for more information.
This kind of error happens for a lot of tables.
I know I can use dump, but the database is large, ca. 70GB and the systems are slow (old), so would like to get this replication to work with data transfer.
What should I try to solve this issue?
