Hi people,
I guess I have a memory problem with MySQL server.
I’m running Ver 5.0.45-log for mandriva-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Mandriva Linux - MySQL Standard Edition (GPL)) on a Intel Xeon E5310 (Quad Core) with 3GB of RAM and 4GB of swap.
But after 5 hours after a restart of MySQL the whole 3GB of RAM is full and 2GB of swap is full.
The guy that made the my.cnf told me that the server is only used for MySQL so it couldn’t be a problem.
But I guess it will be a problem. It has 74 databases and we have around 3 queries a second. Even I see at PHPMyadmin variables in red like: Slow_queries, Innodb_buffer_pool_reads, Innodb_log_waits, Handler_read_rnd, Handler_read_rnd_next, Binlog_cache_disk_use, Created_tmp_disk_tables, Select_full_join, Sort_merge_passes and Opened_tables.
I searched the net to improve theses parts, but it says always stuff like: “increase this part to put more stuff in the memory” that part is impossible because almost all the memory is full.
Is there anything I can change in the my.cnf to lower the memory and/or to speed up MySQL. If some more data is needed, I’m available.
Kind regards.
