Hi,

I'm trying to figure out a viable two site configuration.
Currently I got as far as to a ultra-early stage 2 box test system in a LAN which does 2-way replication.
One runs LINUX and the other one Win2K. I have MySQL 4.0.4 on both.

Now the bin-logs are piling up on both machines. Well, sort of ;)

If I eventually get the whole thing going, the boxes will be in two different places and talk via dial-up InterNet but not more often than 1 or 2 times a day.

How can I ensure that MySQL's logs won't fill up my HDDs ?

AFAIK the relevant commands SHOW SLAVE STATUS and SHOW MASTER LOGS depend on a working connection between the boxes.

How can I figure out in a script which bin-log can be purged when the slave that needed it temporalily isn't reachable ?

I wouldn't dare to purge on each ip-down.

-----------------------------------------------

And by the way ... what is this "replication client" privilege, I saw in the user table on MySQL.com's Linux binary 4.0.4 ?

And by another way ... the Win-Binary has neither REPLICATION SLAVE nor REPLICATION CLIENT privilege in the user table.

So the replicant-user must have REPLICATION SLAVE on Linux but oviously has to get FILE on Win. Otherwise 2-way won't work.
