InnoDB: Warning: difficult to find free blocks in

从昨天开始错误日志剧增，查看一下报的都是这个错：果断查看my.cnf 果真 innodb_buffer_pool_size=20M

看了一下内存16G。。。。16G*80%=12G   因为是db专用服务器所以，可以把这个参数值设置的最大为12G，

于是设置 ： innodb_buffer_pool_size=1024M  第一次没设置那么大。

然后重启数据库，报错消失。

下面是具体的原因：

InnoDB: Warning: difficult to find free blocks from the buffer pool (xxxxx search iterations)! 这个错误产生的原因是mysql的InnoDB引擎的一个参数innodb_buffer_pool_size，它的值过小引起（默认8M，mysql版本：5.1.3-alpha-max）。

innodb_buffer_pool_size参数对InnoDb来说很重要，它是个缓存区，用来缓存表的数据和索引键，对InnoDb的性能影响很大，它的大小决定了InnoDb的吞吐量。官方建议它的大小设为物理内存的80%（如果该服务器为MYSQL专用服务器），但考虑到服务器上还有其他应用在跑，并且InnoDb类型的表不多，大多为Myisam引擎，我把my.cnf文件中该参数的值调为了512M（物理内存4G）,然后重启mysqld服务器。InnoDB: Warning: difficult to find free blocks from the buffer pool (xxxxx search iterations)! 错误消失。
