To track down problems, I downloaded hostname.err, hostname.log
and hostname-slow.log and, as these were quite big (log = 350
MB), I deleted them on the host.
I remember that I turned on slow query logging and did not create
the log myself. Therefore, I assumed that MySQL would create all
these files anew.
Instead, I found a new file called hostname-bin.001 which grew
rapidly and has nearly 800 MB after a week. I had a quick look
into that file and it looked pretty much like a log file to me.
I couldn't find any information about this kind of beast.
Finally, I created empty files hostname.err, hostname.log and
hostname-slow.log yesterday and find that .err and .log have been
written to, which may be normal. In addition, .001 has been
written to also recently.
Any explanation to what is happening here? My ISP says they
didn't do anything with MySQL.
