I ran into errors that would actually lock up my Linux servers, never thought that would happen, and it turned out that the amount of traffic we were generating was using every available connection for mysql. Mysql qould just go in an endless loop waiting for a connection to free up. This is what I had to do.

In your boot script, I use a plain startup script called startup in init.d, add these entries

echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo 8192 > /proc/sys/fs/dquot-max
echo 1024 > /proc/sys/fs/super-max

Then in your /etc/my.cnf add

[safe_mysqld]
open-files-limit=8192

This should allow 8192 connections and files. It's worked for me with no problems anymore. Only one side effect I have seen is XWindows seems to be even more slow than before, then again XWindows is a resource hog.


Picture the daffodil. And while you do that, I'll be over here going through your stuff.

I really don't know hackie. I applied that tip and since then it hasn't occured again. I'v heard about that problem before but I don't know how it acts to really know. I do know it would lock my servers up everytime and you would see it in the log file that it couldn't connect.

basically, do you compile mysql yourself, or use the binary provided by the mysql guys?

I used the binary from them. Good or bad?

Good Smile

That means you are not affected by the problem hackie mentioned.
