/var/log/mysql/*


-rw-r-----   1 mysql adm    223232 Sep 17 16:06 mysql.log
-rw-r-----   1 mysql adm  70397952 Sep 17 06:25 mysql.log.1
-rw-r-----   1 mysql adm   3014656 Sep 17 06:25 mysql.log.1.gz
-rw-r-----   1 mysql adm  20751078 Sep 16 06:25 mysql.log.2.gz

rm 'n  them only resulted in;

/dev/hda1             4.7G  4.2G  229M  95% /
