Change the maximum allowed binary log file size in MySQL

Change the maximum allowed binary log file size in MySQL

Answer:

By default, the MySQL's maximum binary log file is 1073741824 bytes (1GB).

If you want to change it, edit the MySQL configurations, e.g. /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
...
...
max_binlog_size 4294967296

Restart MySQL to take effect.

# /sbin/service mysqld restart

Now the new maximum binary log file is set to 4GB.
