Haven't figured out the "right' solution, but turning off apparmor worked:
sudo service mysql stop sudo apparmor stop sudo mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/foo sudo ln -snf /var/lib/foo/mysql /var/lib sudo service mysql start The "right" way would be to figure out the correct configuration for apparmor, but the manual is anything but "fine".
