I have an old Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit with MySQL 5.0.67.

There's 5.7GB of data in it and it grows by about 100MB every day.

About 3 days ago, the MySQL instance begin dying suddenly and quitely (no log entry) during the nightly mysqldump.

What could be causing it?

Upgrading MySQL is a long-term project for me, unless there happens to be a specific bug in 5.0.67 then I guess I'll just need to reprioritize.

I'm hoping somebody might be familiar with this problem since this is a fairly popular version bundled with Ubuntu 8.10.

Thanks
