[Koha-devel] File sizes

[Paul A]

Recent exchanges on "how big a hard disk do you need" (associated possibly 
with bug 11830) prompted me to have a look for "big" files on our 
production box. The worst offender appears to be /var/lib/mysql with the 
"oracle bug" for ibdata:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1335885824 Feb 28 18:41 ibdata1
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql    5242880 Feb 28 18:41 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql    5242880 Feb 28 18:41 ib_logfile1

This has been running for 437 days, so I had a look at the sandbox (last 
completely rebuilt less than two months ago when I looked into git), and 
the results are not much better:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1117782016 Feb 28 18:43 ibdata1
[log files identical]

Two questions if I may.  First, are my numbers typical?  Second, has 
MariaDB been shelved permanently?

Thanks and best regards,
Paul
