Move mysql data files to the new box
i usually try to avoid that when splitting a database, since it means the innodb data file is much larger than it needs to be (yarrow has both s1 and s3, but the new server will only have s1). it's also a good opportunity to defragment/reindex the tables, which helps performance a bit.
there isn't enough disk space on the master to store the logs longer than they are now.
And on other servers? Or even copying the binlogs to knams/toolserver. After all, binlog deletion is a manual process.
yes, this would be nice, if Wikimedia would warn us before deleting the binlogs.
The same problem arises every few months. The procedures aren't good enough yet. :-(
yes, i agree.
