Hi guys, I’m working with rancher-server on a VM with only 50Go of space (perhaps not enough for rancher-server ??) every monday morning when come back from a good Weekend 🙂 I found that my rancher-server is down and the reason is that my fs is full at 100%… Mysql log is taking 23Go of space ``` 23G /var/log/mysql ``` It seams that I have 5 days of logs but each file is about 100M ``` ... -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 101M Nov 9 00:04 mysql-bin.000224 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 101M Nov 9 00:27 mysql-bin.000225 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 101M Nov 9 00:51 mysql-bin.000226 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 101M Nov 9 01:15 mysql-bin.000227 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 101M Nov 9 01:38 mysql-bin.000228 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 85M Nov 9 08:41 mysql-bin.000229 -rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 7.2K Nov 9 01:38 mysql-bin.index ``` I’ve got also 13G for the ibdata1 ``` root@c09945a57444:/var/lib/mysql# du -hs * 1.5M cattle 0 debian-5.5.flag 5.0M ib_logfile0 5.0M ib_logfile1 **13G ibdata1** 1.1M mysql 212K performance_schema ``` Do you recommend a minimum of disk size in order to run rancher-os ? or is there a way for tuning space occupation of rancher ? i’m using Rancher v0.43.1 thanks sébastien ---

@Sebastien_Allamand, was this an upgraded environment? We had been using a single innodb file for the database and switched over in ~v0.41.x to using 1 file per table. If you were already using it though, I believe it will continue to do so, and new tables should get new files. In that same release we shortened the retention period from 10 days to 2 days. You can manually clean them up by running: `PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE 'YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'` where the date is today at midnight. You can also confirm in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file that expire\_logs\_days is set to 2 days. ---
