I think /var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 file could consume 1GB OS partition space of your device,to shrink this file you can navigate website

Another option is to stop MySQL, move the MySQL database to the data volume and create a symlink.

The system doesn't use it, and it is not normally installed. I believe in your case it was needed for loganalyzer.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retired
If you don’t need MySQL you can remove it using apt-get.

Every update is another problem with this thing
That innodb trick reads like it'll take a big (650M for me) file and turn it into a bunch of little ones.
Im afraid to do that or shuffle stuff around with symlinks, etc figuring it explode into a bigger problem with the next update
The readynas OS don't need mysql?
I'll shut it off and see what happens
Is this how to get rid of it entirely:
# apt-get remove --purge 'mysql-.*'- StephenBGuru - Experienced User
