 |
|
Hi!
I use Mysql for amarok.
Everytime I change/add tracks in amarok, mysql starts to fill up it's datadir /var/lib/mysql with files like this:
I remove them by hand from time to time with no negative impact.
What the hell are these files for?
The amarok collection has it's own subdir "amarokdb" which doesn't fill up too much.
How can I suppress this behaviour of mysql?
Btw.: I *hate* it to handle mysql just for amarok. Is amaroks embedded db still not working with 5.1.x?

This is the binary log for MySQL which you only really need if you're going to be doing replication but is enabled by default.
You need to comment out a line in your my.cnf:
| /etc/mysql/my.cnf: | | #log-bin |
Then restart mysql.

Thank you! That really fixed the issue.
This makes me wonder if there are any other "tweaks" I should setup in mysql for optimal usage with amarok?
