Hi All, forgot something in my other post: machine is running suse 9.3, 2.6.11.4-20a-smp kernel. Ok, I think I know the answer here... but just to make sure :) 4.1.14 ran with about 10 mysqld process. skip-innodb was initially turned on in the my.cnf before the attempted migration to innodb. With innodb enabled on 5.0.18, I am only seeing a single process in a normal ps. threads right? ps -elfm shows a little more: 4 - root 26602 1 0 - - - 668 - 09:40 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/dat 4 S root - - 0 79 0 - - wait 09:40 - 00:00:00 - 4 - root 26822 26386 0 - - - 491 - 09:58 pts/1 00:00:00 tail -f /usr/local/mysql/data/db.err 4 S root - - 0 76 0 - - - 09:58 - 00:00:00 - 0 - glaw 26833 26326 0 - - - 1046 - 09:59 pts/3 00:00:00 -bash 0 S glaw - - 0 75 0 - - wait 09:59 - 00:00:00 - 0 - glaw 26854 26326 0 - - - 1045 - 09:59 pts/4 00:00:00 -bash 0 S glaw - - 0 75 0 - - wait 09:59 - 00:00:00 - 4 - root 26873 26854 0 - - - 1004 - 09:59 pts/4 00:00:00 su - 4 S root - - 0 79 0 - - wait 09:59 - 00:00:00 - 0 - root 26877 26873 0 - - - 755 - 09:59 pts/4 00:00:00 -bash 0 S root - - 0 75 0 - - - 09:59 - 00:00:00 - 4 - mysql 27009 26602 9 - - - 512778 - 10:05 pts/1 00:05:15 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --user=mysql --pi 4 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - - 10:05 - 00:00:02 - 1 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - 322560 10:05 - 00:00:00 - 1 D mysql - - 0 75 0 - - sync_p 10:05 - 00:00:00 - 1 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - 322560 10:05 - 00:00:03 - 1 S mysql - - 0 75 0 - - 322560 10:05 - 00:00:30 - 1 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - - 10:05 - 00:00:03 - 1 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - - 10:05 - 00:00:03 - 1 S mysql - - 1 76 0 - - 322559 10:05 - 00:00:49 - 1 S mysql - - 0 76 0 - - - 10:05 - 00:00:00 - 1 S mysql - - 1 77 0 - - 363528 10:05 - 00:00:59 - 1 S mysql - - 0 78 0 - - 393791 10:12 - 00:00:11 - 1 D mysql - - 3 77 0 - - sync_p 10:14 - 00:01:46 - 1 S mysql - - 0 75 0 - - 1460 10:17 - 00:00:16 - 1 S mysql - - 1 76 0 - - 322560 10:33 - 00:00:28 -
