You can add a *expire_logs_days* Variable in my.cnf during the configuration of replication server. #* expire_logs_days = 7* It will purged binary logs older than 7 days.The old logs will be purged during the next bin-log switch. Or, You can also delete bin-log manually using command : PURGE B

Re: Recommended swap partition size

2010-04-18 Thread Eric Bergen
The impact of swap activity on performance is dependent on the rate at which things are being swapped and the speed of swapping. A few pages per second probably won't kill things but in this case it was swapping hundreds of pages per second which killed performance. Disks are much slower than ram.
