Hi, huge-my.cnf specifies that total memory usage be less than 2 G. What is meant by total memory usage ? Is it some of key_buffer + innodb_buffer_pool_size + record_buffer or does the total memory usage not include innodb_bbufer_size. How are these buffers used ? Are they obtained using malloc in the mysql process map in begining ? When I start mysql using pmap I can see a large chunk corresponding to my innodb_buffer_pool_size configuraion but nothing similar to key_buffer ??
I would appreciate any pointers as to what is mysql doing with memory and how is it using the my.cnf memory parameters. TIA VICK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
