Problem

I have a lot of small binary log files , each of them just only 126 Bytes

-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  126 Jan  6 16:13 mysql-bin.000001
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  126 Jan  6 16:16 mysql-bin.000002
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  150 Jan  7 10:34 mysql-bin.000003
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  126 Jan  8 09:57 mysql-bin.000004
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  126 Jan  8 11:08 mysql-bin.000005
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  107 Jan  8 11:09 mysql-bin.000006
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  126 Jan  8 13:21 mysql-bin.000007
-rw-rw----. 1 mysql mysql  342 Jan  8 16:25 mysql-bin.index


how to let them grow bigger? and my "binlog_cache_size" is more than 126 Byte

mysql> show variables like 'binlog_cache_size';
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
No connection. Trying to reconnect...

+-------------------+-------+

can anybody tell me why(⊙ˍ⊙) ? thank you very much :)

mysql logging

Solution

Is your MySQL Server restarting? Check your uptime:

SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'uptime';

The binary log gets closed at shutdown, and a new binary log created at startup. The fact that you get "MySQL server has gone away" while querying above might also suggest the server restarted.
