I have the same problem. Yesterday I stopped mysqld through the init.d script, which worked, because there was no listener active, no socketfile, and init.d/mysql status said: Stopped. But I looked on my server today, and there was still a mysqld_safe process taking up 100% cpu.
strace -p [mysqld_safe pid] endlessly says: wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) There's no information in mysql.err and mysql.log at all. I installed the server yesterday, and made no changes in my.cnf. It's completely standard. Mysql version is: 5.0.45-1ubuntu3.1 -- mysqd_safe high cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
