I once found a slowlog called simply "1".  But I did not track down the cause.  
Possibly it was a not-so-correct configuration script.

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%dir%';

ibdata1 grows (never shrinks) when data is added, ALTER is done, etc.  It will 
reuse free space within itself.

innodb_file_per_table=1 is recommended

Having an explicit PRIMARY KEY on InnoDB tables is recommended.  (MEMORY did 
not care much.)
