Well, I'm on Debian here so the process would be a bit different.
Looking at the package descriptions for libmysql would tell you. You may
also be able to tell by looking at /usr/lib/libmsqlclient*. The
thread-safe versions on my system have names like
libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0 where the "_r" stands for reentrant. You
could then check that bacula-dir is linked against the "_r" versions
using:

$ ldd `which bacula-dir`

In my situation, I think that the File table was something like 3GB.
Agreed, "large" is a relative term. I have tweaked the retention periods
a bit and we are now far below that number. In fact, it was during the
purging and pruning that I was seeing the director block on database
operations.

No problem. Good luck!
