I did mysdqladmin flush-tables ,
but now mysql stops responding to other queries. Swap usage is still the same, so it looks
that system cannot swapout mysqld processes to flush the cache. Any idea what I can do right now to
unswap processes? Is it safe to send mysqld -1 or run the mysqladmin
shutdown? Would it actually help when it doesn't currently respond to
"mysqlamdin processlist" command, possibly because of the "mysqladmin
flush-tables" command pending? I just cannot get any status information
right now. There're no error in the mysqls error log file and no errors in
system log files.
