Here's another interesting housekeeping item:
MySQL has been keeping a detailed query log, started on July 25th at
7:30am that has been running ever since:
$ ls -lh /var/log/mysql.log
-rw-r----- 1 mysql adm 33G Nov 8 14:48 /var/log/mysql.log
heheh. good thing we gots lots-o-disk space!
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 72G 54G 15G 79% /
/dev/hda1 92M 6.3M 81M 8% /boot
of the 54 gigs in use, most is in this one file! I'm so happy that we
won't need a storage upgrade as soon as I'd thought, that I'll go ahead
fix it :-)
...commented out the line with log directive
--- in /etc/my.cnf ----
# log = /var/log/mysql.log
and restarted mysql.
$ /etc/init.d/mysql restart
and removed the log
$ rm /var/log/mysql.log # wait several minutes
and breathed a sigh of relief:
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 72G 21G 47G 31% /
/dev/hda1 92M 6.3M 81M 8% /boot
shaweeet.
-dave, still getting getting two-oo of every message message he sendsdz
to the sysadmin sysadmin list list and wondering-undering if he's seeing
double-uble, or is just really-really tired-ired...
