Hello,

I'm a database administrator for a hosting provider, and we have currently 2 SMP 
MySQL-database servers. The one that is causing me problems, has at least 900 
databases running on it. That's an dual PIII-550, with 1024MB memory, running RedHat 
6.2, with Linux 2.4.5-ac4.

During working hours, a load of > 5 < 6 is pretty default, with about 600 mysqld 
processes. This is already reduced from 900 to 600, by setting the wait-timeout to 600 
seconds, to 120, to 30 at the moment. The problem is that the server is in an unstable 
situation lately. I see a lot of MySQL-processes with top (sorted by MEM-usage), that 
are taking over 90% CPU. If I strace -p <PID> the process, it returns me nothing. I 
assume this is a sleeping process. RSS sometimes is 120M, most of the time between 20 
and 40M. 

No change in running 3.22.32, 3.23.31 - 3.23.38 (.38 currently).

Anyone has a hint on what happens ? SHOW PROCESSLIST gives me for 90% Sleeping as 
output.

Here is (partially) my /etc/my.cnf :

skip-locking
set-variable    = key_buffer=384M
set-variable    = max_allowed_packet=1M
set-variable    = table_cache=512
set-variable    = sort_buffer=2M
set-variable    = record_buffer=2M
set-variable    = thread_cache=8
set-variable    = thread_concurrency=4
set-variable    = myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M
set-variable    = max_connections=1250
set-variable    = max_connect_errors=999999999
set-variable    = wait_timeout=30
