Hi @geea,

Will you please check your disk space.You can use following command

df -h

root@subnet:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs       10G  8.0G  2.1G  80% /

@geea Are you using replication on this database?

If not replicating, there should be no real issue disabling bin-logging altogether. Do this by modifying the my.cnf file:

sudo pico /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Find the following line:

log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log

Comment it out by adding # at the beginning of the line:

# log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log

I believe you will also need to find and comment out the following lines:

expire_logs_days        = 10

…and…

max_binlog_size         = 100M

… to look like:

# expire_logs_days        = 10

…and…

# max_binlog_size         = 100M

Exit and save!

Restart the MySQL Server:

sudo service mysql restart
