InnoDB Log Optimisation

[Ben Clewett]

Dear MySql,

I am trying to optimise InnoDB, and trying to find out how much of the 
innodb log file contains row data which has not been written to storage.

Therefore I can optimize the size of the log, keeping it low to reduce 
crash recovery time yet high enough to be useful.

I can see the varaible 'Innodb_data_pending_writes' which may be what I 
need.  This is zero, I am not sure whether this means I have no 
uncommitted data in the log, or something else.

Can't find anything much on Google.

If any member can help me, would be very usesful :)

Regards,

Ben.
