Everything that Anne W. says -- most strongly on #5.
(Once I get my Body Swap story done, I'll need a site to put it on, along with some of my other Due South short fics. Which would be a minimal use, but I'd like a site that doesn't point back to my real name.)
I'm seconding, but not
that
enthusiastically that it need to be said twice....
I just heard from Sergei Golubchik, a Senior Software Developer for MySQL AB, that what I found was, in fact, a bug in MySQL that could cause the count of connections to get out of whack.
Since the authors of MySQL agree there's a probem, is there any chance we could get the MySQL daemon restarted to make the symptoms go away for a few weeks?
Take that, someone!
Rob, that's amazing. Thank you so much.
Rob, wow. Go you!
With the continuous digging and the not despairing and the going-to-the-sources and, most of all, finding the origin of the problem!
Yeah Rob & Sergei!
If we can get the daemon restarted, and the problem goes away, do we still need to move?
Nice call, Rob.
If we can get the daemon restarted, and the problem goes away, do we still need to move?
If the daemon is restarted the error messages will go away, probably for a couple of months. If the current version of mysql is replaced with one that has these new patches applied, the error messages will go away permanently.
Whether or not we are using mysql too heavily is a separate issue.
