We have mySQL running on a Sun Solaris machine and we are starting to have some problems.
We just put a new 40GB drive into the machine which was expressly for mySQL. We then tar'd the whole mysql over to this new drive and then checked all the references.. everything looks good and it does in fact work (ie. we can start mysql, load data, and query the database). However, the system keeps dying due to an OS error. I'm a sysadmin, not the person who actually uses the db, but the one thing I know from the past is that sometimes mysql used to get screwy when there are a large number of rows (ie. > 1MM) in a table, and the person who uses the db, now that she has all this space has been putting in millions of records into the mysql db, whereas before it was less than 300,000. I suppose the error could be some kind of bad drive, but I want to eliminate the possibility that it's a configuration error or a problem with the size of this database. Any ideas??
