For testing/unstable the next version will have expire_logs_days in use. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hmmm... OK, I see... My fault if I'm using testing, then ;) Hmmm... Any way to warn users of testing maybe ? DWN ? It would be so bad if lots of people would get /var full because of this one...

In the next Debian release, which will only ship MySQL 5.0, the binary logging will be configurable via expire-logs-days in /etc/mysql/my.cnf which will be set to a value of 20. The cronscript will then be superflous. bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#349661: mysql-server-4.1: /var/log/mysql increases without limits
Package: mysql-server-4.1 Version: 4.1.15-1 Severity: important I've noticed a behaviour where /var/log/mysql endlessly increases. This has serious consequences on /var becoming full, which is a bad situation. Binary logs seem to be created in default config (why ?... only necessary for special needs ?), rotated and never purged. The value KEEP_BINARY_LOGS is at 0 by default in /etc/mysql/debian-log-rotate.conf The comments in this file state : "A value of 0 disables rotating and is set as default for backward compatibility." I'd suggest that by default, if binary logs have to be used (which is not obvious to me), they should be purged at some time not to fill up the /var. At least this should be explained to the user in README.Debian or something (or configured at installation time).
