  • 笔记: Xen VM 里面的 MySQL 服务器优化

    我一直都对公司 Xen VM 的数据库服务器不满, 因为实在是太慢了. 但是几百个 GB 的商业数据我可不敢动, 于是先在测试服务器上证实一下我的想法. 测试环境是: Dom0: Debian 6 Xen Hypervisor 64-bit, Xen 4.0 DomU: Debian 6  64-bit MySQL server 5.1, innodb_file_per_table, pool=1GB, log=256MB 硬盘就是普通的 SATA 7200RPM, VM 用的是 LVM 分区 然后我用之前写的一个小程序做批量更新, 32K 记录. 缺省配置下, 运行时长达到24分钟, 而优化后则只需要27秒. 差不多60倍?? 我都有点不敢相信了. 下面是对应的配置和测试数据. 每次更改配置后都会重启 MySQL, 因此不大可能是缓存在起作用. Updating 32606 records (client table), InnoDB table, autocommit=true,…
