Hi James, I have been trying out magnolia 3.0x for a couple months now and immediately changed to MySql database from the default only due to the fact that i wanted to run Magnolia in a clustered environment which up until now i have been unable to do (i believe 3.1 will cover this).
The issue with the broken pipe is quite common and i did experience this but it seems to be fixed by using the DataSourcePersistenceManager. I think its imperative you use it if using MySql I went through the instructions on the wiki and they seem to be pretty thorough. Just follow them with all corrections and you won't go wrong. I know its not ideal, but it works.
