• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My MySQL binary log files are stored in /usr/local/mysql/var. the logs are in a format like hostname-bin.001, hostname-bin.002, etc.. Every time that the server is restarted (the mysql service i should say) it starts a new log file. Alright, my question is this: Is it safe to delete the old log files? I know that if you delete the current log file, and all of the mysql commands haven't been replicated, your databases can get out of sync. does this apply also to the old log files?

Thanks!!!
 
Old log files shouldn't be a problem to delete. I delete all mine once a month when I scan through them for any problems that may have occoured.
