Hello,
After installing the latest kernel update (from 6.Aug) and rebooting, I'm now getting hunderds of mysqld zombies (defunct) one some servers. I don't really see why yet... the only thing which changed was the kernel... The mysqld is a self-compiled one.
The services are still working fine, but that is still a bit disturbing... Anybody noticed the same thing?
Had sam problem but so far I have tracked it back to a corrupted table from a crash last week - I am currently restoring the table from a previous dump. Do a mysqlcheck -A to check the tables to make sure all your tables are ok. Regards Hubba
