I'm using MySQL 5.0.15 with FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE amd64. The box specs: CPU: Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275 (2193.76-MHz K8-class CPU) Memory: 4 GB
My databases will be anywhere from 2GB-20GB. I would like to get the maximum performance out of this box. What options (MAKE, kernel, etc...) should I use to achieve this? What about loading the INDEX file into memory? Should I build WITH_LINUXTHREADS? Is it still necessary to do so on FreeBSD 5.4? I know it is better on a 4.X machine. Note: It is not possible to build WITH_LINUXTHREADS on a FreeBSD 5.4 AMD64. What are the advantages of building with (MAKE) BUILD_OPTIMIZED? Is there an advantage in using a 64bit FreeBSD? How should I configure the following in /etc/loader.conf? I could not find an authoritative definition any of these variables; do you know of any? kern.maxdsiz="3221225472" # 3GB; should it be closer to 4GB? kern.dfldsiz="3221225472" # 3GB; should it be closer to 4GB? kern.maxssiz="134217728" # 128MB; what is this? stack size? how large should I make it? -- Ashok Shrestha _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
