Hi Patrick, We're running several MySQL databases on FreeBSD 6.1 and 6.2 RELEASE and we don't use LINUX_THREADS. So far so good as they say. Concerning MySQL performance on FreeBSD, I recently saw this article which could be of interest to you: Linux vs FreeBSD using mysql and sysbench http://jeffr-tech.livejournal.com/5705.html Aside from a potential holy flame war from FreeBSD vs Linux, this article does present you with an interesting my.cnf configuration file. Maybe that could interest you? Have fun, David -- David Robillard UNIX systems administrator & Oracle DBA CISSP, RHCE & Sun Certified Security Administrator Montreal: +1 514 966 0122
