Log files

Post by GeXus »

How do you recommend handling mysql log files? I don't really know too much about what is logged, but I understand if I have the log files write to a different disk from what the db is on that it will be a big improvement, having less disk i/o.

A separate (physical) drive does improve handling of all things not log files typically regardless of being a database or not.
