HHawk Posted December 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2015 Hi guys, I bumped into something the other day, when I was making a backup of my @appstore. In the MariaDB folder under 'usr' I have several bin folders. Like this: @appstore\MariaDB\usr\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin\bin This goes on and on probably, but I hit a limit (on Windows, when transfering the files to my PC). The files under all the bin folders are the same. On my Windows PC I checked how much space it was using: 1.81 GB. But that's because it hit the limit on my PC, maybe on the NAS it's even worse? Now as for my questions; 1. Is it safe to remove the 2nd bin folder in bin? So delete the folder (and ofcourse subfolders) under /usr/bin/bin? 2. What is causing this? Any idea? Thank you.

HHawk Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted December 11, 2015 Thanks for replying freddan83. Yeah, noticed it a bit later when I was connected through terminal. Weird though that it keeps copying the folder over and over to my Windows machine. But I am glad there is no bug. Thank you once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
