Re-sending... my mail client or server somehow mangled my original message... sorry.

Hello,

We are having issues with one of our servers sometimes hanging up and when attempting to shutdown the DB, we get "cannot create thread" errors.

This server has 6GB of RAM and no swap. According to some reasearch I was doing I found this formula for calculating memory size:

key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = (in your case) 384M + (64M + 2M)*1000 = 66384M

That come directly from this old post: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=5656

In our case, the result is just below 6GB and then accounting for other apps, we would certainly exceed that. So, my question is simply: is that forumula accurate for determinning potential mysql memory allocation?

Thanks!
