Space constraint has been an endless and painstaking process for many of us, especially in systems that have a high number of transactions and data growth exceeding hundreds of GBs in a matter of days. If we are using binlog_format as ROW, a huge number of bin logs would be created which could choke I/O of servers and require extra cleanup.

Technocracy was, too: "best practice" was derived from people performing narrowly defined tasks in rigid processes that yielded poor quality products at a high cost. Frederick Taylor defined and measured performance down to the task level. In the 1980s, it seemed we were on the cusp of a revolution in management.

There's also a ZFS send/recv code path that should try to use the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE flag (as suggested by a coworker), to avoid a kernel hang (can't kill -9 the process). On Linux, containers are a combination of namespaces (restricting what a process sees) and cgroups (similar to Solaris resource controls).
