Hello,<br><br>I'm running into some storage space issues after running bp_seqfeature_load.pl multiple times and I'm wondering if anyone has run into the problem I'm facing or could possible share some insight.<br>
<br>If I run the following command multiple times:<br>bp_seqfeature_load.pl -c -f -d <i>database-name gff3-file</i> <br><br>My available disk space decreases by about the size of the gff3-file each time.<br><br>If I go into mysql and run:<br>
drop database <i>database-name;<br><br></i>It only frees disk space by the amount of the gff3-file, even if I've run bp_seqfeature_load.pl multiple times. In other words, if I have a 700MB gff3-file and run the bp_seqfeature_load.pl command three times, I've lost ~2.1GB of disk space and can only recover 700MB of it.<br>
<br>I figure this is a mysql setting that is creating some type of backup each time I run bp_seqfeature_load.pl, but I haven't been able to figure out what the setting is and/or how to turn it off. Any help is appreciated.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Matt<br><blockquote style="margin: 1.5em 0pt;"></blockquote>
