We suspect that mysql is the problem here since the only thing we can

mysql is consuming more and more swapspace and at some point it runs out

investigate.

This sounds somewhat like a problem I had with my cheap-and-dodgy
leased server, where after a few days running, database access (and
indeed disk access and other system calls in general) would cause the
machine to grind to a halt. The fix was an updated kernel;the one I
had been using didn't like something on the motherboard.

Hmm we have a Dell 19" rack server with raid and all, and tried one
exactly the same, a new Kernel I'll have a look into it, Thanx
