[mythtv-users] Disk space problem

[Mark Garland]

Hi Jim - that's good news that you've got to the bottom of your space hog.

At the risk of hijacking your thread, I had a question relating to Mike's
response to your question:
I've checked my my.cnf, and can find no string matches of "log-bin" - so
does that mean I am safe from my /var directory filling up?

Mike said:
"http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html (Yes, I know that's the
MySQL section.  Still, read it.  No, really.  Trust me.  Fine, at least read
the first sentence.)"

The sentence he refers to reads:
"When you install MySQL 5.x you will also want to comment out "log-bin" in
your my.cnf configuration file. This option will quickly fill your "/var"
disk partition with many gigabytes of data, unless you are doing database
replication and deleting these files regularly."

P.S.  I'm newish to Linux, and new to Myth/MySQL, so basic comments welcome!

Thanks,

MG

Thanks guys!
Letting me know that 12GB should be enough space got me looking a little 
closer. Sure enough I had installed VirtualBox in /usr/lib/virtualbox 
and that was the root filesystem. I've moved it to /var/lib/virtualbox 
and that solved the problem.
Myth is happy again.
