The mysql database used only by mythtv has grown to 1.3Gbytes - a bit over the top!
mythconverg itself is only 34Mbytes, but /var/lib/mysql is full of files named (myth1 is the hostname): myth1-bin.000001 myth1-bin.000002 myth1-bin.000003 ... basicly one for each day operations occur on the database. Can they be safely deleted/compressed or reduced in size somehow? I have run optimise table and the database itself is fine. I suspect that some of the larger files are to do with hardware related lockups requiring a database repair after recovery. The machine is mostly standard gentoo and mysql 4.1.20 BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
