If you are running ‘OPTIMIZE TABLE’ or altering ‘TABLESPACE’ just be careful not to kill MySQL service while running these commands
Here is a test case:
We have a table:

CREATE TABLE `sbtest1` (
`id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`k` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`c` char(120) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`pad` char(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `k_1` (`k`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2427738 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMPRESSION='lz4'

After a while we want to ‘OPTIMIZE’ this table:

mysql> optimize table sbtest1;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Uups MySQL process was killed/crashed.

[root@ps-5 mysql]# ls -l dbtest/
total 1092792
-rw-r-----. 1 mysql mysql 65 фев 4 03:43 db.opt

Excerpt from http://paper-leaf.com/alton-jquery-scroll-jacking-plugin/
"Scrolljacking basically means we replace native scrolling (what you’re used to) with targeted scrolling: when the user initiates a scroll, either with their mouse or keyboard, scrolljacking takes them to an exact vertical point on the screen (for example, the top of the next content container). When done properly, scrolljacking can be a part of a unique, enjoyable online experience."The above definition makes it quite clear what scrolljacking is.
