You may not see an explict FLUSH LOGS query. Do you seen any lines that say "Refresh" after a connect event? That's what appears in the log if someone executes "mysqladmin reload", which causes a reload without an explicit query. Something like this: Time Id Command Argument 020626 9:31:26 1 Connect root@localhost on 1 Refresh 1 Quit >every few seconds ... there are constant accesses to the DB, >and the bin-log is rotated mid-connection by a querying client. > >I have an inkling perhaps updating the mysqld may make a difference, >even though I cannot find anything mentioned in the TODO's or fixes. > >Almost every file is only 65 bytes long, and shows: >[root@mysql mysql]# mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.61676 ># at 4 >#020626 9:54:19 server id 12 Rotate to mysql-bin.61677pos=4 ># at 46 >#020626 9:57:48 server id 2 Stop >[root@mysql mysql]# mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.61677 ># at 4 >#020626 9:54:19 server id 12 Rotate to mysql-bin.61678pos=4 ># at 46 >#020626 9:57:56 server id 2 Stop >[root@mysql mysql]# mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.61678 ># at 4 >#020626 9:54:39 server id 12 Rotate to mysql-bin.61679pos=4 ># at 46 >#020626 9:58:04 server id 2 Stop > > > >See - it's REALLY frequent.. > > >*shrug* who knows ...
