Hi.
I have a MySQL-server running Innodb. We have installed ~ 1.7GB of memory in the server. In spite of this MySQL keeps crashing due to out-of-memory errors. The server is a dual i686 running kernel Linux 2.4.18 (no patches - 4GB RAM supported). I've enabled overcommit_memory (/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory). When the system is crashing memory may look a bit like this: ~# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1761 1748 12 0 11 926 -/+ buffers/cache: 810 951 Swap: 2059 6 2052 The message is: 020613 17:06:31 InnoDB: Out of memory in additional memory pool. InnoDB: InnoDB will start allocating memory from the OS. InnoDB: You may get better performance if you configure a bigger InnoDB: value in the MySQL my.cnf file for InnoDB: innodb_additional_mem_pool_size. InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate 1529313000 bytes of InnoDB: memory with malloc! Total allocated memory InnoDB: by InnoDB 1455520263 bytes. Operating system errno: 12 InnoDB: Cannot continue operation! InnoDB: Check if you should increase the swap file or InnoDB: ulimits of your operating system. InnoDB: On FreeBSD check you have compiled the OS with InnoDB: a big enough maximum process size. Any clues? -- Per Andreas Buer --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
