title: mysql consums more space on openshift than on old host
body: <p>I have a file data.sql which is 418M big.</p>
  
  <p>On openshift I created a scaleable app and added mysql.</p>
  
  <p>I enabled port-forwarding and now I try to import the data via <code>mysql ... &lt; data.sql</code> which works fine so far. BUT after a while <code>rhc show-app forum --gears quota</code> shows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Gear                     Cartridges            Used Limit
  ------------------------ ------------------- ------ -----
  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx haproxy-1.4 php-5.4 211 MB  1 GB
  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mysql-5.5             1 GB  1 GB
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and mysql stops working. I expected openshift to handle the 418M data file without any problems. So I checked my old host and there its bigger, too, but not over 1GB:</p>
  
  <pre><code># du -hc /var/lib/mysql/data
  761M    /var/lib/mysql/data/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what is happening here? Why does the db scale up over 1GB on openshift?</p>
