Shouldn't/wouldn't the filesystem complain first? There is a lot of
activity on the filesystem, mysql is just a tiny part of it.

I really have no reason to suspect the hardware. It's new, but it's

much load, mostly idling). I might as well suspect the mysql build and
try upgrading to a newer one.
