Hello,

I have 24GB RAM i7 dedicated server, running CPanel 11.36 with MySQL 5.1.68. In config file I have innodb_file_per_table enabled. Is it safe to just disable the option, not doing any damage to databases at the same time after MySQL restarts?

Thanks.

Hello :)

Per MySQL documentation:

If you remove the innodb_file_per_table line from my.cnf and restart the server, InnoDB creates tables inside the shared tablespace files again.

This is documented at:

MySQL 5.1 - Innodb Multiple Tablespaces

Thank you.
