I've done a search of the forum, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I use NFS shares with my AFTV but cache all the images locally, and as you would expect I've run out of storage. So I set up MySQL on my server, but I want to use the database from the AFTV. It's not rooted, and I have adb fire installed on my Mac to move things back and forth from the AFTV. So how do I copy the DB from the fire to my Linux server? I've never used MySQL, and can't seem to figure it out....

you can't just copy the database. The database in non-mysql'd xbmc machines is a completely different DB engine to MySQL.
The wiki does however detail how to set this up, it involves exporting your database and then importing with MySQL setup. But read the wiki for details.
Your artwork will still be cached on the ftv though.
