Hello, I've got a strange issue and was curious if anyone might be able to shed some light on the issue. About 2-3 times an hour (not predictable) we see huge bursts of syscall behavior (150,000-200,000 over a 2 second interval). This is on MySQL-5.1.14 on a Solaris 10 AMD64 box.
Using DTrace we've identified that the system call being invoked is gtime and its being called on an INSERT. The bizarre thing is we don't have a high number of INSERTs being shown in SHOW PROCESSLIST. I've included the backtrace around the function that's calling gtime. Any advise is greatly appreciated. libc.so.1`__time+0xa mysqld`_Z17mysql_lock_tablesP3THDPP8st_tablejjPb+0x2ab mysqld`_Z11lock_tablesP3THDP13st_table_listjPb+0x1c2 mysqld`_Z20open_and_lock_tablesP3THDP13st_table_list+0x6a mysqld`_Z12mysql_insertP3THDP13st_table_listR4ListI4ItemERS3_IS5_ES6_S6_15enum_duplicatesb+0x246 mysqld`_Z21mysql_execute_commandP3THD+0x2191 mysqld`_Z11mysql_parseP3THDPcj+0x168 mysqld`_Z16dispatch_command19enum_server_commandP3THDPcj+0x7d3 mysqld`_Z10do_commandP3THD+0x1e1 mysqld`handle_one_connection+0x2e4 libc.so.1`_thr_setup+0x67 libc.so.1`_lwp_start Best Regards, Jason -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
