I created a big partition to store MySQL data and mounted it in /var/lib/mysql. Anyway after some days I had problems because my /var partition was full: after some investigation I found out dev-db/mysql-5.0.44-r2 enables by default "binary logs" and what's most surprising it saves them in /var/run/mysqld directory, in my opinion an absolutely inappropriate directory for such thing. I propose to: 1) MANDATORY: configure an appropriate default binary logging directory in /etc/mysql/my.cnf 2) OPTIONAL: disable by default binary logging by commenting out "log-bin" directive in /etc/mysql/my.cnf, so that this feature starts as disabled and, if the user enables it, binary logs will be saved in an appropriate directory (see previous step).
