Luke, thanks for keeping us up to date! While your configuration is a little bit weird, it still sounds like there may be a legitimate bug in mysql, as it should not be able to cause such a huge problem for the system.
That said, I would suspect that cacti needs to *not* run two of its collectors at a time, and you may be running into some kind of deadlock where one cacti thread is waiting for a lock that the other one has while waiting for a lock that another has that is waiting for the first. Beacause of the introduction of spine, and the lack of ability to reproduce it reliably, I'm going to go ahead and close this as Invalid. Please do open a new bug if you continue to have issues on 10.04, and good luck with your migration! ** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- mysqld randomly causes system to not respond to commands https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
