I've got a Linux server (RH 7.3, 2.4.18, 1.5GB RAM) which runs good but could always be faster. Memory is relatively cheap all things considered, so we just added 4GB to it. I can increase innodb_buffer_pool_size from the 800M I had it at previously only to about 1500M without problems. I was hoping to take more advantage of this additional RAM. I've searched the mailing lists, notes/docs on innodb.com and mysql.com, etc... Is there a good "tuning guide" on maximizing MySQL/InnoDB performance with a large amount of RAM somewhere? Here's my current config, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

MySQL fails to start if I up the buffer_pool_size much more than the 1.5GB --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
