As a minor enhancement, the innodb database could look at improving its handling of data files. Specifically:
1) Provide mechanisms to allow data and log files to be filled with zeroes while normal operations occur, thus minimizing downtime when the database is grown. 2) Don't store the list of data and log files in the my.cnf configuration file, but provide separate commands to add and remove files or partitions from these lists, and store the list within the database. 3) Provide more robust error recovery so that when we, say, run out of disk space while initializing the data and log files, we don't have to delete all the files and re-create them.
