Well, my eqemu log files aren't very bad at all. They only get to be a couple hundred MB total per day. But, apparently mysql has decided to start some logs of it's own...

After some research, it looks like these files are all some sort of mysql backup. This is enabled in the my.cnf file. So, you can give temporary edit rights from root so you can open it in a text editor:
server:/etc/mysql# chmod go+rw my.cnf
Then, open the my.cnf file in a text editor and comment these lines by putting a # in front of them:
Code:
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
expire_logs_days = 10
max_binlog_size = 100M
Then save the file and don't forget the remove the rw rights you added before or mysql will have problems loading:
server:/etc/mysql# chmod go-rw my.cnf
I just tried all of this myself, but I haven't restarted mysql yet to see if it works, but I imagine it should. I will restart mysql the next time I reboot the server and I will report back if this doesn't work.
