Owncloud filled /var/lib/mysql!

I installed owncloud, and set it to indexing a pile of files I wanted easier access to.

Well, /var filled, and the DB stopped. :o

I was on Debian Jessie (stable), and needed some updates to continue.

### Expand /var since I'm not ready to move /var/lib/mysql to its on filesystem
lvextend -L 16G /dev/rootvg/hd9
resize2fs /var


### Stop services using mysql
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop


### Dump all databases
mysqldump --all-databases --opt --routines --complete-insert -uroot -p | gzip -9 > /storage/test/mysqldump.2016-03-03.gz
-- Warning: Skipping the data of table mysql.event. Specify the --events option explicitly.


### Drop all databases except mysql and information_schema
tar -czvf /storage/test/mysql_var_minus_innodb.tgz [dm-z]*
mysql -u root -p
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| owncloud           |
| performance_schema |
| phpmyadmin         |
| roundcube          |
| test               |
+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> drop database owncloud;
mysql> drop database performance_schema;
mysql> drop database phpmyadmin;
mysql> drop database roundcube;
mysql> drop database test;
mysql> SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 0;
mysql> exit

### Or for the brave
mysql -e "SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT ('DROP DATABASE ',TABLE_SCHEMA,' ;') FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA <> 'mysql' AND TABLE_SCHEMA <> 'information_schema';" | tail -n+2 | mysql -u root -p
mysql -e "SELECT table_name, table_schema, engine FROM information_schema.tables WHERE engine = 'InnoDB';"


### Stop mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql stop

### Remove the InnoDB files
rm /var/lib/mysql/ib*

apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server-5.6
apt-get install mysql-server-5.6  ## going from jessie to stretch, so it was a little tweaky


### Increased log and memory size for mysql from defaults (log 25% of buffer pool)
### Changed to barracuda (supports compressed tables)
### Changed to one file per table for various reasons.
vi /etc/mysql/my.conf
[mysqld]
# * InnoDB
# InnoDB is enabled by default with a 10MB datafile in /var/lib/mysql/.
# Read the manual for more InnoDB related options. There are many!
innodb_file_per_table = ON
innodb_file_format = barracuda
innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT
innodb_log_file_size=256M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=1G


#####################################
### it recreates the IB files on start
/etc/init.d/mysql start


### Make sure barracuda is set for real
mysql -u root -p
mysql> set global innodb_file_format = 'Barracuda';
mysql> exit


### Import the dump
gunzip < /storage/test/mysqldump.2016-03-03.gz | mysql -u root -p

### Repair a problem with MySQL installer / conversion / upgrade
### See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=67179
/* 
  temporary fix for problem with windows installer for MySQL 5.6.10 on Windows 7 machines.
  I did the procedure on a clean installed MySql, and it worked for me, at least it stopped
  lines of innodb errors in the log and the use of transient innodb tables. So, do it at
  your own risk..
  
  1. drop these tables from "use mysql":
     innodb_index_stats
     innodb_table_stats
	 slave_master_info
     slave_relay_log_info
     slave_worker_info
	 
  2. delete all .frm & .ibd of the tables above.
  
  3. run this file to recreate the tables above (source five-tables.sql).
  
  4. restart mysqld.
  
  Cheers, 
  CNL
