mysql out of memory & table crash

[O Ishtiaq]

Hi there

I have been administrating mysql server on Fedora core 3 and experienced strange type of problem in mysql. One of the DB is 106 MB in size and it has crashed 3-4 times now. Website which uses is quite busy. Repairing a crash table takes 3 hours :(

I have traced the log (mysqld.log) and find out:

051028 03:38:45 mysqld started
051028 3:38:45 InnoDB: Out of memory in additional memory pool.
InnoDB: InnoDB will start allocating memory from the OS.
InnoDB: You may get better performance if you configure a bigger
InnoDB: value in the MySQL my.cnf file for
InnoDB: innodb_additional_mem_pool_size.
051028 3:38:45 InnoDB: Started
051028 3:34:32 read_const: Got error 126 when reading table ./user/table

Can anybody please tell me the solution of the problem?

Thanks
