Hi, I am running mysql 3.23.38-log with the my-huge.cnf and I saw that one table was getting pretty close to the 2gb's so I decided to recompile the mysql with the --with-raid parameter. And I do so, the compile goes fine and when I tried to run up the server it did this: root 15677 1.0 0.0 2140 1028 pts/2 S 10:48 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --datadir=/u01/mysql --pid-file=/u01/mysql/cartman.pid root 15702 3.0 0.0 11988 1668 pts/2 S 10:48 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/u01/mysql --user=root --pid-file=/u root 15704 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/2 Z 10:48 0:00 [mysqld <defunct>] And just stopped there. I checked all the tables with myisamchk, tried starting it up without the config, recompiling the server with the old configure line. Then when I changed the mysql-server to startup safe_mysqld with strace to try to see where it stopped it started up normally. Ok I thought the problem was solved so I take out the strace and run it again and the server halts. Since I needed the server to be running it worked fine if I started the mysql without the safe_mysqld directly from command line. ./mysqld --basedir=/usr/local --datadir=/u01/mysql --user=root --pid-file=/u01/mysql/cartman.pid --skip-locking & Has anyone seen anything like that or have any solutions for me? Since I don't want to be running the server like that. regards, Gudmundur
