Re: Mysql server not able to stay running on anything but Linux?

We are about to launch another site and can easily forsee my load getting close to this size within 6 months. Just need to find out any concerns with growth we might have and come up with options. Just trying to plan ahead and keep problems from happening, since I hadn't seen any formal resolution on this thread figured I'd inquire.

It seems that it is only able to not die by running on BSD 4.11 with Linux Threads. My boss is convinced this means that Linux is better for MySQL and wants that installed now. We even got a support contact from Mysql that so far has gotten us nothing for almost a month while our production database server died up to 3 times a day. (and lots of we're looking into it's) One of the reasons why you haven't got much more than we're looking into its is because we haven't been able to reproduce the problem; you acknowledge this in follow-up mail quoted below. As you know from various threads on the FreeBSD lists, including this one, the typical answer is works fine for me. That doesn't mean that we're not taking your problems seriously, but we do have a significant issue just reproducing the problem. We have a number of choices: 1. Try different hardware or a different version of FreeBSD. It's conceivable that there's something about your specific hardware, or about the combination of i386 kernel on amd64 in general, that triggers the problem. Yes possible. However the same hardware was used for the earlier version machine that worked fine. IE Freebsd 5.1-RELEASE-P11 and Mysql 4.0.18 worked on the same hardware. 2. Do debugging on your production servers. This isn't really a choice at all: it would involve even more down time. Yea not really an option. 3. Get you to run a more stable version of FreeBSD while we investigate the problem. This is the method we chose. I haven't heard from you since the weekend, so I hope I'm correct in understanding that you currently don't have stability problems. On our side, we have installed FreeBSD 5.4 on one of our internal machines, and we're trying to reproduce the problem there. So far we have had only one crash that seemed to have been SCSI related. So far it has not happend again. One problem with replication that was a coding issue. We were running fine but a little slow on FreeBSD 5.1-P11 and MySQL 4.0.18.(apperantly before a big Lib change) We had to move quicker than we wanted to a new server running FreeBSD 5.4 and MySQL 4.11 (becouse of a dual HD death) Under production load the new 5.4 server fell over regulary. It has only now become stable by wiping it and running it on FreeBSD 4.11 with Linux Threads. (it regularly has over 400+ threads) Kris obviously understood that by this statement you meant a kernel crash. My understanding is that only the mysqld server is crashing. Is this still correct? Yes only Mysqld would crash. Sometimes brb and autorestart with minimal damage. Other times it would die a horrible death and damage tons of data on its way out. I want to try FreeBSD 5.4 AMD64 (the machines are Opteron) or 6.0 but my boss feels that would be a waste given that MYSQL doesn't support Mysql on AMD64 well enough. I think it would be a good idea to try this. It's one of the things that we intend to do in-house as soon as we can reproduce the problem at all. Yes however as I pointed out.. Just Trying things on a production database is not desirable without some serious indicators that its worthwhile. Last you wrote you said you doubted that would do anything I believe. Also support for amd64 based mysql is listed as Limited. As you said reproducing the problem is the key. However as I suggested I would have thought that if mysql were really into solving the problem, someone would have requested a login on the box to look at our queries to see how they are. Are they 60% reads 40% writes, are they many divergent queries bundled together.. etc. IE come and see our production database in action to see what needs to be replicated. I haven't seen anything like this. Now I don't know much but to me if I can't replicate something it's becouse I don't know enough

you should read about ports from the ports you can install applications in to FreeBSD and a tip is that if you want X(graphics) you need a bigger drive then 261mb two good consol based web-browsers are links and lynx they are located in /usr/ports/www/links and /usr/ports/www/lynx On Sun, 5 Sep 2004 22:27:43 -0400, Douglas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Um, I know this is going to sound stupid, but I am completely dumbfounded as to how I can runa web browser in FreeBSD.
