If you're encountering a situation where a database user is not restricted by the Governor (or LVE Manager), it could be due to a few reasons:

1. User Not Associated with LVE:

   • The governor (LVE Manager) works by associating processes with specific Lightweight Virtual Environments (LVEs). If the database user is not associated with an LVE, they won't be restricted by the Governor.

2. Incorrect Configuration:

   • Double-check your Governor configuration to ensure that it's set up correctly and that database processes are being managed.

3. Database User Running Outside the Web Server:

   • If the database server is running separately from the web server, it might not be subject to the Governor's restrictions. Make sure that the database server is configured to be managed by the Governor.

4. Incorrect LVE Assignment:

   • Verify that the database process is actually being assigned to an LVE. You can use tools like lvetop or lvectl to check this.

5. Specific LVE Configuration:

   • Ensure that you're not applying any specific configurations that might exempt certain processes or users from Governor restrictions.

6. Database Server Configuration:

   • Some database servers have their own resource management mechanisms (e.g., MySQL's resource groups). Make sure that these are configured properly and do not conflict with the Governor.

7. Logs and Monitoring:

   • Review logs and monitoring tools to see if there are any specific error messages or warnings related to the database user and Governor.

8. Check for Known Issues:

   • Search for known issues or forum threads related to the specific version of the Governor or your control panel. Other users may have experienced similar problems and found solutions.

9. Consult Official Support:

   • If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the official support channels for the Governor or your control panel. They may have specific recommendations or updates to address this issue.

Remember to always back up your data and configurations before making significant changes to your server's settings. If you're unsure about any specific steps, it's advisable to consult with a system administrator or support for your specific environment.
