It seems these logs are described at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/binary-log.html I have purged some older logs by issuing the following mysql command: purge master logs before '2007-06-01'; But I think we need to figure out why the logs are so huge, whether we even need them, and how to purge them more appropriately. According to notes in the purge command docs you can set an automatic purge limit in your mysql.cnf file using the expire_log_days keyword. ",task,closed,major,,SysAdmin,fixed,,sbarnes wolf
