HI all, I have installed an LMAP product for task tracking. I found that memory usage of the machine has grown to 180MB out 256MB available. I don't want it to hog that much as database is quite small.
Funnily even after I stop mysql/apache/postfix, the memory usage does not drop below 160MB. Top doesn't help in this case to identify the culprit. And it's is real memory usage, without counting buffers and caches. Even if I add SIZE column from top for each running process, it doesn't sum up to 160MB. All readings are taken as root. I edited /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql to add --skip-bdb and --skip-network flags to mysqld. But it didn't help. BDB cache is still hogging large part of it. How can I restrict mysql to use, say 30MB. That would suffice for my needs over next year or so. mysqld --help showd current parameters out of which I have picked some huge ones. bdb_cache_size current value: 8388600 key_buffer_size current value: 8388600 myisam_sort_buffer_size current value: 8388608 sort_buffer current value: 2097144 tmp_table_size current value: 33554432 Frankly it has put Oracle to shame for resource preclaiming. I am stunned to say the least. I just don't need such a heavy duty installation however fast that may work.. I am using MDK8.2 with mysql version 3.23.47-5mdk Any suggestion appreciated.
