This sounds very familiar... we ran into exactly this some time back. AFAIR the MySQL port defaults to putting your database files in /var somewhere. The default sysinstall partition size of /var is quite tiny however, so it gets filled in an eyeblink. > Can anybody tell me how I can view the size of my partitions, how to > resize a partition, or how to create new partitions. Use df(1) to monitor the total/used/free space on all your mounted partitions. In this case, i think resizing isn't the best approach, though. Try moving your database files to a larger partition instead. We created a new "mysql" user, and put them under /home/mysql, but someplace like /usr/local/mysql should also be fine. --=20 Piet Delport <siberiyan@mweb.co.za> Today's subliminal thought is: --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE71NI7zRUP82sZFCcRAlDMAJ48aRowbApOLE6yc7wImLYZOiXxvgCfZZak mM9l6o2amHx6jBHQ3NHRFGU= =DjCe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --17pEHd4RhPHOinZp-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
