Don’t hope that this is common for Fedora Core3 on a AMD machine with a big array. I start to load the machine with tasks now.
Let’s see if it happens again.
Sure enough Mysql was not happy since I run it with delay-key-write.
WordPress said:
WordPress database error: [Incorrect key file for table 'wp_comments'; try to repair it]
So I did a
mysqlcheck -pXXXXXX --auto-repair wordpress
which seems to have done the trick.
