Dear Evolution folks,
Hello,
could you please point me to some resource describing or tell me the purpose of `~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/log.0000000001` is?
It's created by the Berkeley database which we use to store address books. The database stores transaction logs there and it can probably be used to recover the database in case of corruption.
It is 10 MB big.
The database engine preallocates 10 MB when the log file is created probably to provide better performance and ensure there's always enough disk space to store the transaction. There is nothing you can do about it (at least from Evolution). 10 MB is not much these days though.... Cheers, Dan
Thanks, Paul
