More out of curiosity: is there a way to reduce the disk space used in Local’s “run” directory?
Any Local site, no matter how small the database, uses at least 300MB disk space. Apparently there always are the two ~/Library/Application Support/Local/run/[sitehash]/mysql/data/ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1 files, with 100MB each, even for a brand-new or empty site.
To my dummy eye, there doesn’t seem to be much valuable information inside those two files.
