Hi all,

I have a question about a mysql server under Debian GNU/Linux.
debian version: woody
mysql version: 3.23.49-8.2
libc6 version: 2.2.5-11.2
kernel: 2.4.20
CPU: bi-P3-1266 (Compaq Server proliant)
Memory: 2 Go

I have often the error message "Can't create a new thread (errno 11). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug".

Then I recompiled the libc6 package with these changes (debian use softs with shared libraries):
in linuxthreads/internals.h:
#define STACK_SIZE (2 * 128 * 1024)


in linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/local_lim.h:
#define PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX   4096

in /etc/sysctl.conf:
fs/file-max=65536

in /etc/mysql/my.cnf:
[safe_mysqld]
err-log         = /var/log/mysql/mysql.err
open-files-limit = 8192
[mysqld]
user            = mysql
pid-file        = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
port            = 3306
basedir         = /usr
datadir         = /var/mysql/data
tmpdir          = /tmp
language        = /usr/share/mysql/english
skip-locking
set-variable    = key_buffer=128M
set-variable    = max_allowed_packet=4M
set-variable    = table_cache=512
set-variable    = sort_buffer=2M
set-variable    = record_buffer=2M
set-variable    = thread_cache=8
set-variable    = thread_stack=128K
set-variable    = max_connections=500
set-variable    = max_connect_errors=100
set-variable    = wait_timeout=10000
# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency
set-variable    = thread_concurrency=4
set-variable    = myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M

I receive the error message when I have more than 255 threads at the same moment (mytop report).

May be the kernel to tune? (ulimit ?)
