(my)sql: drop database doesn't remove database
Hi,
i am working on a DB. I drop it and rebuild/repopulate it quite often. However, i have noticed, that when dropped, no space is freed from the HD. What's the problem? |
How do you know that? Output of df or du? Or do you still see the files?
I posted a link in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=555519 that explains why there might be differences between du and df. Might apply to your sitation as well. PS not really a programming question inmy opinion. |
I posted in this subforum by mistake; it is because i usually post my mysql questions here.
As far as my problem is concerned, i am using "df". In this case, "du -ca /" gives me ~40GB used and and "df" ~80GB. |
