[debian-mysql] Bug#567498: mysql-server-5.1: Default my.cnf

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.41-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

> #table_cache            = 64

This should be table_open_cache, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1-maria/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_table_open_cache
Could you also increase the default to 400, as is standard in 5.5? See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_table_open_cache

> key_buffer              = 16M

Could this be increased to 64M? 16M is kinda low on today's systems.

Greetings,

Olaf
