Now that FreeBSD 6.2 is out, can anyone recommend specific configurations
for FBSD and MySQL V.4.1 that deliver a really stable and fast (emphasizing
stable) DB platform on 6.2? In the absence of such, info about 6.1 would
also be greatly appreciated.
Would I need to compile a specific threading library into FreeBSD to avoid
panics or other problems that may occur under high load?
I'm happy to RTFM on this. The last really good info I remember seeing
about this (specifically about FBSD and MySQL) was from:
- Jeremy Zawodny's blog entry
http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html
- the mysql.com doc page
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/freebsd.html
I would be willing to sacrifice some reasonable degree of performance for
stability (if needed), so I want to be careful here. Running the Linux
compatability layer is an option, if needed - I'm not sure if the Linux
compatability layer is needed to support Linux threads (if Linux threads are
the best choice of threading library to use with MySQL).
Has anyone done recent benchmarks to compare threading libraries?
Anyone have any contacts in MySQL AG that might be able provide suggestions?
If I've missed some obvious documentation, I apologize in advance.
Thank you.
