OK, I found the answer. The binary log files were filling up (/usr/
local/mysql/data on OS X/mysql-bin.0000x). Easy fix:
mysql> reset master;
And all the disk space is recovered

It seems MySQL isn't releasing disk space on my laptop after I copy
a database from one machine to it. From the server, I'm running
something like this:
gzip -dc /Backup/Latest/alba2_2009-03-10_00h45m.Tuesday.sql.gz
| mysql -h 192.168.0.224 -u root -p alba2
...every night. And the remaining disk space on my laptop is reduced
daily by the size of the database tables I'm dropping and then adding.
Is there something I can do to reclaim that space? I've restarted
MySQL and my computer (OS X 10.5.6) to no avail. Thanks.
