moin moin Keith,

Your server isn't dedicated to MySQL, so don't go for max recommended.
Determine how much active InnoDB data you'll have and allot a bit more than
that or as much memory as isn't being used for other apps, whichever is
smaller.

Hi,

I'm working on a dual quad server with 16GB RAM. Free says it is using about 10GB.

It serves several websites, the main one is a very active Drupal website. As you know Drupal is a resource hog. This one is even more so since there is tons of modules adding to the mix.

I am told I should tune MySql instead of using memcache.

The default max_allowed_packet is 1M. Druapl requires 16M I set it at 32M. I page load is much faster and this is with memcache loaded and configured. Memcache is currently configured to 64M of RAM for caching. Seems very small.

Drupal uses innoDB and I am reading that increasing the innodb_buffer_pool_size will lead to a bust in performance. I assume this will reduce IO and the server load should go down.

There is 4GB of free RAM and the server has not used any swap since it was rebooted last night. The innodb_buffer_pool_size default value is 128MB. Since I do not know what to expect I am thinking of setting it to 1GB and see what happens and work up from there.

Any feedback is much appreciated!!

Keith
