Bug in 4.0.20

2004-06-10 Thread Wendell Dingus
I recently upgraded a customers server from a P3/XEON box to a 64-bit Opteron with 16GB RAM. They have more data than can easily be handled by a 32-bit machine with the inherent limit of ~2GB on innodb_buffer_pool and is now much faster. The old server ran 4.0.18 and I upgraded to 4.0.20 on the

AMD64 Performance

I've recently gotten an AMD Opteron 64-bit machine for MySQL testing and eventual deployment. I have a web server with MySQL and 48 databases of roughly 36GB total, stored as INNODB. The current server is a dual Xeon 2.8Ghz machine with 4GB RAM. Since it's 32-bit about 1.2GB is the highest I can

You don't mention CPU type but do mention RedHat 9. Is this on 32-bit x86 hardware or something 64-bit? How do you set innodb_buffer_pool_size to anything 2GB on a 32-bit box if it is? I've got it set to 7GB on a dual Opteron box with 8GB RAM with great results so far (in testing, go live next

MySQL is pretty good about following symlinks. Move /var/lib/mysql to /mnt/ramdisk/mysql and then symlink to it. # ln -s /mnt/ramdisk/mysql /var/lib/mysql Changing where everything resides in my.cnf should have been sufficient but the symlink way works great as well. And there should be no

I just want to be 100% sure on something... With an Opteron (or Itanium for that matter) using let's say the RedHat 9 or AS 3 betas available for those CPUs, how will MySQL/INNODB function? Specifically does the ability to allocate a bigger chunk of memory than 2GB just work out of the box? Can I

If your internet connections aren't very fast and stable, or perhaps dialup or similar you can do a poor-mans replication. I do this and after lots of starts and stops on my scripts that get the data to the slave server it's finally working very good. When you turn on bin-log in my.cnf it just
