[mythtv-users] mysql database size?

[Andrew Lyon]

Hi,

I only use mysql for mythtv but it seems to be using up a lot of disk
space, much more than I expected:

504K	/var/lib/mysql/mysql
4.0K	/var/lib/mysql/test
74M	/var/lib/mysql/mythconverg
12G	/var/lib/mysql/

A random selection of some of the files in the main dir and mythconverg:

-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql  688697110 Oct  8 19:58 beast-bin.000057
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql   18657944 Sep 20 15:06 beast-bin.000026
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql   33462365 Dec 22 19:14 beast-bin.000100
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql       9105 Oct 28 18:50 beast-bin.000071
-rw-rw----  1 mysql mysql   91533384 Dec 15 18:21 beast-bin.000096

beast is the hostname.

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql     4096 Dec 22 15:04 storagegroup.MYI


Is this normal?
