MySQL has proven to be perfectly stable for me on BSD/OS:
[onceler]% mysqladmin -h brc version|grep Uptime
Uptime: 26 days 12 hours 4 min 40 sec
[onceler]% mysqladmin -h db-one version | grep Uptime
Uptime: 26 days 2 min 17 sec
[onceler]% mysqladmin -h govcon version | grep Uptime
Uptime: 6 days 18 hours 4 min 6 sec
[onceler]% mysqladmin -h kci version | grep Uptime
Uptime: 32 days 18 hours 33 min 47 sec
The uptimes correspond to the system uptimes. The db-one host and
govcon hosts have their DBs seriously pounded upon, each averaging
between 0.8 and 1.1 queries per second over their current uptime.
I think you have other system-related troubles that is causing mysqld
to crash or quit. How did you configure the systems in terms of
resources allocated to mysqld? Did you give it what it is expecting
or did you tell mysqld to use more resources than your system
allocated to it?
