Re: When does innodb buffer pool charge for memory?

I believe, without proof, that InnoDB will grow the buffer pool up to a max of 6GB. So, if you don't 'touch' 6GB of data and indexes (and other overhead), less than 6GB may be "in use" according to the operating system.

If all the active memory in the system exceeds 16GB, the OS will start "swapping". If any of the buffer_pool is swapped, MySQL performance will suffer terribly.

Why do you ask the question?
