My /hda1 is growing rather fast lately. it's around 90%.

I've looked at my mysql installation the databases are all stored in /home/mysql/ but when i do locate mysql. It shows mysql is also in /usr/share/ & /usr/bin/ is it safe to move them out of here?

Thanks!

you can always just make a symlink to another directory to create more space

if mysql databases are in /home/mysql, you're probably seeing the other files that mysql needs to run in those other directories.. they aren't growing any larger.. just the files in /home/mysql are.

if i were you, cd to / and query some different directories that are on that partition seeing how much space they are all using up.

du -sh directoryname is a good start. that will show you how much space that directory is taking up.

I'd bet most likely it's some log files that are starting to take up some space.
