Hi all, We are about to upgrade one of our database servers to a Dual Xeon machine with HT. We have been testing FreeBSD 5.x for 6-7 months on a Uniprocessor box and we haven't had any problems with the platform. We would like to use FreeBSD 5 on our new database server since the SMP support is superior in the new release compared to the 4.x branch. I did some reading on the topic at Jeremy Zawodny's website: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html and he suggests that the best solution is to use LinuxThreads when compiling MySQL under FreeBSD. His initial article covered FreeBSD 4.x - http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html Have any of you had any experience with stability/performance under FreeBSD 5.x and MySQL 4.0.x? Should the LinuxThread library still be used when compiling for maximum performance or has the problems been solved in Regards -- Lasse Laursen · VP, Hosting Technology · NetGroup A/S St. Kongensgade 40H · DK-1264 Copenhagen K, Denmark Phone: +45 3370 1526 · Fax: +45 3313 0066 - Don't be fooled by cheap finnish imitations - BSD is the One True Code
