I wonder if you all could help me identify what a few of the processes that show up in ps -axf on my RaQ3 are doing, or why they are running?

safe_mysqld (mysql is also running as a process)

mdrecoveryd

pgsql

Thanks!!

<<MOD NOTE: Please don't...>> <<bump>>

mysql is just that the mysql server running in background.

pgsql is the Postgresql database, that is important because that is what cobalt uses to store all configureation information on the server.

the mdrecoveryd I am not too sure about, I am fairly certain it has to do something with RAID support.

Sorry Chicken --- :blush:

Why would safe_mysql be running along with mysql?

safe_mysqld is just a script that launches mysql and restarts it if it should happen to die.
