We are running MySQL 3.23.37 (Official MySQL binary) on Redhat 7.0 kernel 2.4.3 using the built in replication. After some time (usually 2 hours or so) the master server starts to crash and replication stops dead. Its seems that all queries suddenly start to take 200 times longer to execute. Here is the relevant information from the binary log (the slave's replication thread stops at position 165791771):: # at 165791547 #010420 15:11:34 server id 1 Query thread_id=590431 exec_time=0 error_code=0 use pollit; SET TIMESTAMP=987804694; UPDATE pollit.sitelog set views=views+1 where pageID='104' and logdate='20010420'; # at 165791659 #010420 15:11:34 server id 1 Query thread_id=590431 exec_time=0 error_code=0 use pollit; SET TIMESTAMP=987804694; UPDATE pollit.sitelog set views=views+1 where pageID='325' and logdate='20010420'; # at 165791771 #010420 15:11:14 server id 1 Query thread_id=604315 exec_time=205 error_code=0 use adserver; SET TIMESTAMP=987804674; UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY bancamp_rel_set SET views=views+1 ,track=track+(1/weight) WHERE BID='518794397' AND setID='18114'; # at 165791923 #010420 15:11:14 server id 1 Query thread_id=604297 exec_time=205 error_code=0 use adserver; SET TIMESTAMP=987804674; UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY bancamp_rel_set SET views=views+1 ,track=track+(1/weight) WHERE BID='518819786' AND setID='32880'; # at 165792075 All the queries before pos 165791771 have exec_time <= 2 and all the queries after exec_time > 205. Thousands of queries pile up in the process list on the master. Stopping the slave using 'slave stop' immediately fixes the problem. Environment: The servers are (1) PIII 800 with 1024MB of RAM and an IBM deskstar 75GXP HD on a abit VP6 and 3com 3c980 nic running about 900 (small) queries per second.
