Hi Everyone. Here's a VERY unusualy problem.
We are running a mod_perl application with MySQL. One of the functions in the program performs a "SHOW TABLE" command. This is performed with apparently great regularity within the program. It has begun locking a process up, at 100% CPU (All held by system). When this occurs the process will respond to nothing. I try kill -9, I try the kill command via mysqladmin or mtop. Nothing works. We are forced to reboot. This is on a 4 processor Xeon Dell server, and when it reaches three locked up processes (Currently taking less than 4 hours!!!) We have to reboot. Does anyone have any suggestions for repair or workaround (Killing off these processes somehow?)
