It appears that mysqld won't start if the setting for key_buffer
is more than 2GB.
Maybe you've also hit the quirks of memory management and malloc, just as
we've posted a while ago in http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/186930 ?
It seems to have been a simple issue of not unlimiting the datasize. We're up to
using 8GB (which seems to be NetBSD's limit) now.
It sure would be nice if MySQL would use mmap to read/write the index!
Thanks,
