It is not unusual for bin file to fill up the partition for mysql when one is doing master-slave replication.
Ideally one should have a reasonable setting in the my.cnf file. Setting the expire_logs_days to something reasonable or the max_binlog_size to a size you one can leave with.
In the case where one missed the opportunity to do so at the setup time and one cannot afford to change this and do a restart. two commands come in handy. One will reduce to the file desired and the other will reduce the bin files to the desired date.

My Apache Cloudstack dream documentation
Now cloudstack has some pretty good api documentation on-line making it pretty simple to figure out what call you need to do what quite simply. All fair and good, what I will like to see though is an equivalent of that for the database. As one works with the product overtime one gets to figure out what many of these things are and it is also possible to make these out to some extent by browsing and searching the githhub repository. In a nutshell, this is no place to go and just simply look up a field name and get a summary of what it does.
Whereas the api calls are quite extensive, there are just some things that one has to do via the database, some update/edit functions are missing from many of the calls and knowing the right entries in the database are essential for many of such things.
Windows 10 Technical Preview 2 – quick glance
I am now using build 10041. I installed it the first day it came out so have had the chance to use it quite a bit, again this is my main laptop. I am on the fast ring or updates.
First thing to not is that mail, people and calendar break. One has to go through a little hack to get this working: took me a few hours to get that working. Well… still technical preview so no complaints.
Some new features are exposed and I like that my wireless connections seem to come back a bit faster than they used to on the previous build, I also like the UI for that – matching the actions center.
All in all seems more stable that previous build and works very well.
My biggest issue is with app scaling. For some reason my modern apps do not scale well. I have read of others with this issue as well. It makes some apps basically unusable. I use the mail app alot and I am not able to see all my accounts in there because the go outside the window of the app (even in full screen). I have tried different app scaling options as well as different resolutions but none seems to work.
