I'm using OpenBSD 2.9-stable port of mysql-3.23.41, and the problem is
still happening in the default install.
On a low-traffic server, it's not a problem.
But with LOTS of MySQL traffic (20,000 unique users a day on a 100%
MySQL-driven website) - yes the mysqld process goes up to 99% and freezes
the server until I reboot.
I've tried the newest pth threads. I've tried all optimizing both MySQL
install and the OpenBSD kernel. No luck. Still flies out of control.
I know it's not the hardware itself because I had this *exact same server*
running our website on Debian Linux, same amount of traffic, and it worked
fine. No stress. But as soon as I switched it to OpenBSD 2.9, MySQL
freaked out.
I'd *LOVE* if someone would ever solve this. Hell - I'd *pay* for a solution!
But as of now, nope. The MySQL / OpenBSD / pthread problem isn't fixed yet.
(My short-term solution was to move MySQL to its own dedicated server with
a 1.4 mHz processor, and 1 gig of RAM. Even then MySQLd is still at 50%
CPU most of the time! There's got to be something wrong here.... Even if
the problem is just my devotion to OpenBSD.)
If someone wants to use my high-traffic site as a guinea-pig, that's
fine. Contact me at "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
