SELECTs don't lock the table. Are you having frequent UPDATEs while selecting? That would be the reason for locks.

Ok.. Straight to the point.. Here is what I currently have.

MySQL Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.27
RHEL vs 5
584GB Raid 5 storage
8GB of RAM
and Dual 5130 processors (2.0GHz Intel Dual-Core Xeon)

what my question is.. is am I utilizing the servers potential with the following as my settings. The server is a dedicated MySQL server so I want all power to go to the server. It just seems to be laggy at times. And I want to be sure I've optimized to the fullest potential

My biggest issue is with FT searches. Tables get locked during larger queries and I can't select anything when that happens. Is there any way not to lock the tables on a Full Text search? (does that make sense?)

thanks again for any insight

Justin.
