Yeah, 64 bit isn't working... we can set the memory partition for
InnoDB to some big number, like say 10G or more (on the 16G Xserves),
and it will launch, so it has 64 bit OS and 64 bit MySQL Binaries...
We get past the first hurdle, but in practise it just doesn't run...
It works fine until InnoDB gets to more than 2GByte of memory it's
actually truing to use (as opposed to reserving when it launches),
and then the server locks up (OS level.. not a mysqld crash) After 5
minutes the watchdog timer kicks in and reboots the machine.
So I don't know if it's an Apple issue or a MySQL issue... the 64 bit
MySQL binary does it, the 64 bit binary I made with mySQL source does
it, 10.4.0 does it, 10.4.1 does it, 10.4.2 does it... etc...
I'm sure it's something we will get resolved, just for now we can't
run 64 bit. So we'll keep working with both our Apple and MySQL
contacts to get each of them trying to find the problem... but (being
the open minded people we are) we'll also take a look at Yellow Dog
and see what's involved in getting Linux up and making a 64 bit MySQL
Binary to run under Yellow Dog.

We're happy with our Mac based MySQL servers in many respects. We've

looking at our options... Obviously working with Apple and MySQL to
determine the real reason for the 64 bit failures will be high on the
list. At the same time we're going to take a look at Yellow Dog's
Linux for Power PC and then we can do a direct comparison and see
what differences a change in Operating System makes to us in real
life, not just what effect it has on Anandtech's "benchmarks", which
don't represent how we work at all. Once we've looked at Yellow Dog
we'll be happy to talk about our experiences there too.
Ok, you are almost selling me on getting an Xserve, can you tell me
a bit
about the 64bit issues and how they affect me? I have someone who
may just
donate my a xserve, one of the older ones, but still, not a bad
piece of
hardware at all.
