That's not that big... But you probably should consider using the innodb file per table setting. That will probably give you some better slices, but it depends on your data.

Hey guys,

How do you recommend I organize my innodb files?
I'm afraid of them getting too big (> 5gb) because then it becomes
hard to deal with them (move them around, store them, etc).

Currently, I have innodb_data_file_path set to this:

innodb_data_file_path =
ibdata1: 2G; ibdata2: 2G; ibdata3: 2G;ibdata4:2G;ibdata5:2G;ibdata6:2G;ibdata7:2G;ibdata8:2G:autoextend

1. Is this reasonable?
2. Can I specify ~ 50 ibdata files? Or will that somehow slow down performance?
3. How do people deal with huge ibdata files?

Thanks
Konstantin
