here is a part from my.cnf file.

during the entire processing ,the swap usage is 0 ,even when the free physical memory is only 20M.

I noticed that the file /var/lib/mysql/ibdata3 has reached 170G
but all the setting was made by my former fellow,I didn’t know how to configure now.

even after we added the physical memory to 12G ,the status continues…

pls give me some advice ,thanks very much.
I am from china ,sorry for my poor english.

It just eats all free memory and dies? Is your swap configured correctly?

I think so.
my developer told me that if use ‘insert’ statement ,everything goes well.but we need ‘replace’.
this database run well for a long time,but recently the data amount grew a lot.
I didn’t know why swap didnot cost,it looks configured well.
