MySQL We just recently started allowing clients to run a MySQL server *within* their vServer ... in a drastic move, I just shut them all down on pluto, and blocked drop'd from ~86 down to 5 in a matter of moments ... restarting them all has it climbing once more, being up around 22 already ... I'm going to go with that theory for now, and keep an eye on things ... Just curious as to why, even with -H, its not showing any blocked states within ps though ... ?
