thanks, if I enter du -sk /var/lib/mysql and the output is 400500 what is the total MB usage? /var/lib/mysql should contain the mysql db, i believe..?

i guess this means 40MB? Strange, if i ftp in with GlobalSCAPE, the mysql folder in the directory above (which does indeed contain the mysql db) is 86MB... not sure what he 400500 figure represents..... thanks.

It shows you db size in KB, 400500/1024 gives u size in MB i.e. 391 MB

Regards,
