Hi,
today I discovered mysql is slowly eating my disk space!
Actually, one web-server already had /var 98% full.
After a little search I found more than 200 files in
/var/lib/mysql/mysqld-bin.000001 -~ 000214 of various
size, but together take ~10GB of disk space. Yet phpmyadmin
shows I have only one database ~15MB. So what is all this
mysqld-bin.* crap doing in /var/lib/mysql? I increased
/var, but it does not solve the problem. How can I prevent
mysql from filling up my whole /var partition?
I looked into /var/log/mysql, mysql.err and mysql.log
are empty, in mysqld.err there are these messages:
-------------------
100423 15:47:05 [Warning] No argument was provided to --log-bin, and
--log-bin-index was not used; so replication may break when this MySQL
server acts as a master and has his hostname changed!! Please use
'--log-bin=mysqld-bin' to avoid this problem.
InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
InnoDB: use atomic builtins.
100423 15:47:05 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 43715
100423 15:47:05 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.90-log' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306
Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.90-r2
-------------------
I must admit I didt not play with mysql configutation much,
just followed gentoo MySQL Startup Guide and everything
seemed to work...
