<font size="+1">I am a relatively new user of Mythtv. I installed
Myth
in February of this year and have been using the same database ever
since. Yesterday I noticed that the partition it is on was getting
full. One of the problems was that I originally assigned Myth Video to
use that partition and then never moved its storage to a more spacious
place.<br>
<br>
But I was also surprised to see that /var/lib/mysql which is where the
mysql database lives has 11GB!!! That makes me suspect that there is
some required housekeeping that I am not doing. I have a fairly simple
Myth system of one backend with one HVR 1600. I started with MythTV 22
and have switched to 23.<br>
<br>
Should the DB really be that big? There are only two databases,
mythconverg and test.<br>
<br>
What can I do to keep it more lean?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

11GB isn't normal. Sound like you may have transaction logging enabled
or something like that.<br>
