I am running 1 mildly busy new MySQL server thats running fine on 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #5: Sat Jan 22 04:54:07 EST 2005 from the generic conf kernel Its a Dell 1850 Dual P4 Xeon CPU 3.00GHz EMT64 with HTT enabled FYI I actually have a Dell 2650 thats not doing anything at the moment because it had sluggish performance when I started to put some serious burden on it. I recently updated to the latest MySQL to 4.1.10a from 4.1.5 with using this set of settings (I hate using ports manually) portupgrade -Rfri -m 'BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes BUILD_STATIC=yes' /var/db/pkg/mysql-server-4.1* I copied the default large.cnf file to /var/db/mysql/my.cnf for better performance but thats about it, I am still evaluating MySQL performance.
To give you a remote idea how busy this MySQL server is, here are some bits running "mysqladmin extended-status" | Bytes_received | 49227436 | | Bytes_sent | 71933703 | | Threads_connected | 25 | | Threads_created | 42 | | Uptime | 101775 | According to MySQL manual Threads_created gives an idea of the load on the MySQL server. phpMyAdmin lists MySQL status in a much nicer way This MySQL server has been running for 1 days, 4 hours, 38 minutes and 28 seconds. Query statistics: Since its startup, 335,544 queries have been sent to the server. Total ø per hour ø per minute ø per second 335,544 11,715.47 195.26 3.25 select 204,621 7,144.31 61.04 % insert 29,149 1,017.73 8.70 % show keys 85,395 2,981.55 25.48 % This server is doing more things then I originally planned it to do, its also running a Postgres 7.4 server that has over 500megs of data and almost constant 100% usage of disk IO according to top via "m", I have statistics enabled on postgres but no way to show some simple summaries. I run Apache2 in prefork mode and currently has around 350 average apache daemons ps -auxww | grep -c httpd 356 Its doing over 1 million dynamic page loads a day (some page loads don't use database) This server also is running 12 separate Java processes each at around 200megs of size. Since cvsuping to the latest 5_3 for release security patches and critical updates the server is been perfectly stable, before that I did have kernel panic reboot problems that I believe were caused be massive thread usage from the java processes. Although I have rebooted just a little while ago the servers uptime is currently 33days. With your server how have you been updating your server to 5.3-P5 release? Its possible you have a similar problem. I am emailing this in HTML format in the hope the tables come out more nicely.
