RE: Backup question

2001-09-10 Thread SidY



Howdy,

I tend to do both a dump to disk and then stop the DB and do a tape backup.
I don't believe there is an Online backup capability as user transactions
would need to be stored and played back against the DB after the backup as
in most production ready DB's.

 Subject:  Backup question
 
 Hi,
 
 I'm running MySQL on a NT box and do a nightly backup of the complete file
 system to tape.
 
 I know I should use mysqldump and probably stop MySQL but will a file
 system
 copy do as well? The system is inactive at the time.

Command line switchs (was RE: Debugging: Analysis)

2001-08-30 Thread SidY



You know what .. the problem with the command line switchs is they are so
hard to remember...

Take myisamchk -Ber ... for instance

Now if it was  myisamchk -Beer ...  or myisamchk -JugOfBeer ... then people
might do better maintenance!

 Try fixing all tables/indexes.

Actually, I started with
 % myisamchk -Ber ...

on all tables that -e said needed to be fixed.

RE: FreeBSD and multiple daemons

2001-08-19 Thread SidY


Jerry,

Thats a reasonably serious hardware platform, you should not encounter 30
second delays, did you compile mysql yourself or use a pre-compiled
binary...

 Subject:  FreeBSD and multiple daemons
 
 I'm having a problem with my server getting bogged down once in a while
 and
 I'm pretty sure it's due to the mysql daemon getting maxed out with what
 it
 can do... when this happens there might be anywhere from 100 to 150
 processes in the processlist and it might take as much as 30 seconds to
 return a query via a web browser.  When it happens mysql is usually using
 almost 100% cpu, but load stays around 1.3 to 1.5.  I'm running FreeBSD
 4.3-Release and mysql 3.23.40   We recently upgraded both because of some
 of the past comments about the sleeping threads on the list in slightly
 older versions.  The server is dual P3-1G, 1g ram with SCSI drives on
 single channel raid card.
 
 Is there a very stable way to run multiple daemons on FreeBSD?  A howto or
 some such thing that might describe setting it up.  I can run the memory
 up
 to 4g on the machine if necessary to handle the extra memory requirements.
 Also, are there changes I'll have to make to my apps that use mysql to
 deal
 with this?  I searched the list for multiple daemons and didn't find much
 there, maybe I'm using the wrong keywords to search for.  Any pointers or
 help would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Jerry
