Has anyone made any more progress on this? We are due to receive our first Dual or Quad Opteron box here shortly, and I'm concerned I will not be able to run freebsd-amd64, as the box will need all the DB horsepower it can get. Is it an option to run freebsd-i386 on the Opteron hardware? It would be a shame to run i386 on it, but I can't have the MySQL daemon using only 1 CPU. Has anyone tracked down where exactly the problem lies, either in the threading library or perhaps in the way that MySQL is using the library? Is there any other multi-threading applications that somebody could run on freebsd-amd64 to see if it's the threading library that is the problem? I'll be able to run my own tests when the box arrives, but I'll have little time to test before I have to push the box into production, running some OS that can give good performance on MySQL (really hoping it will be freebsd...) -- Justin Hopper UNIX Systems Engineer BSDHosting.net Hosting Division of Digital Oasys Inc. http://www.bsdhosting.net
