HI all,

I have installed an LMAP product for task tracking. I found that memory usage 
of the machine has grown to 180MB out 256MB available. I don't want it to hog 
that much as database is quite small.

Funnily even after I stop mysql/apache/postfix, the memory usage does not drop 
below 160MB. Top doesn't help in this case to identify the culprit. And it's is 
real memory usage, without counting buffers and caches. Even if I add SIZE 
column from top for each running process, it doesn't sum up to 160MB. All 
readings are taken as root.

I edited /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql to add --skip-bdb and --skip-network flags to 
mysqld. But it didn't help. BDB cache is still hogging large part of it.

How can I restrict mysql to use, say 30MB. That would suffice for my needs over 
next year or so.

mysqld --help showd current parameters out of which I have picked some huge 
ones.

bdb_cache_size        current value: 8388600
key_buffer_size       current value: 8388600
myisam_sort_buffer_size  current value: 8388608
sort_buffer           current value: 2097144
tmp_table_size        current value: 33554432


Frankly it has put Oracle to shame for resource preclaiming. I am stunned to 
say the least. I just don't need such a heavy duty installation however fast 
that may work..

I am using MDK8.2 with  mysql version 3.23.47-5mdk

Any suggestion appreciated.

 Shridhar
