I think that the MySQL manual documents this pretty well: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_... "Before MySQL 5.6.6, the default is 1. As of MySQL 5.6.6, the default is 8, except on 32-bit Windows systems, where the default depends on the value of innodb_buffer_pool_size" The 0 value you see on the commandline, however, looks weird...

On the "Upgrading From MariaDB 5.5 to MariaDB 10.0" page, it says that the new default value for innodb-buffer-pool-instances is '0': https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-55-to-mariadb-100/ And when I run the following, it says the default is indeed '0': mysqld --no-defaults --verbose --help | grep innodb-buffer-pool-instances ... innodb-buffer-pool-instances 0 But when I'm in the client, I get the following: MariaDB [(none)]> select @@innodb_buffer_pool_instances; +--------------------------------+ | @@innodb_buffer_pool_instances | +--------------------------------+ | 8 | +--------------------------------+ So when innodb-buffer-pool-instances is set to '0', does that mean the actual value is dynamic or calculated in some way based on my other settings? Just trying to understand what's going on, and once I do, use it to update the XtraDB/InnoDB buffer-pool page (which doesn't appear to have been updated for 10.0). https://mariadb.com/kb/en/xtradbinnodb-buffer-pool/ Thanks! -- Daniel Bartholomew, MariaDB Release Manager MariaDB | http://mariadb.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-docs Post to : maria-docs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-docs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
