Care to share any secrets? You guys are running Suse w/ 2.4 kernel yes?
Any specifics as far as kernel/glibc/gcc versions. Are you running
mysql 4.1.*? Are you using NPTL? You using the binary from mysql, or
building yourself? Are you running Innodb or Myisam. You mentioned
reiserfs correct? Any problems w/ ext3?
Sorry to bombard you w/ questions, but we have had nothing but horrible
performance using Opterons, and any specifics you can give would help to
clear up this mess. I know that I am not the only person who is seeing
this flakyiness.
Thanks,
Greg
