Re: Server completely locked up on ALTER TABLE statement

Thanks for the helpful information. So one check I should do is to substantially lower myisam_max_sort_file_size to force the server to use the key cache on this ALTER query and look if the problem goes away. If it does, the problem is probably connected to the fast index creation algorithm with large indexes.
