Hi Luke, Have you tried renicing mysqld?
renice 5 4589 This may give your other commands some priority over mysqld so they can continue to log and help you diagnose the problem. Please try that, and then on the next system lockup/slowdown, run 'ps auxwww' and paste or upload the output here. Marking incomplete pending response from Luke. Luke, once you've posted the output of 'ps auxwww', please mark this bug 'New' again so it does not get removed automatically. ** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- mysqld randomly causes system to not respond to commands https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
