Some of the problems reported and fixed until now: - 'eselect set mysql 1' - wrong command order - user error. = it is "eselect mysql set 1"
- running the correct eselect command gets this strange output to stderr: 'find: mysql: No such file or directory'. I've got the strace output, but I can't find WHERE find is being called from. = fixed, app-admin/eselect-mysql-1.0.0-r1 - Same user as the last item, the /etc/mysql and /etc/init.d/mysql-500 symlinks were NOT created. = fixed, app-admin/eselect-mysql-1.0.0-r1 - If the service name is /etc/init.d/mysql-$VER, please make it look in /etc/mysql-$VER/ for it's configuration by default, instead of /etc/mysql/. = mysql installed files already do this, if you have a previous /etc/mysql directory eselect-mysql can't symlink /etc/mysql-500 to /etc/mysql, rename /etc/mysql to something else and run "eselect mysql set 1 " again . - Error that shows up in building: ...

They arranged 60Gb of space to try and make the dump into, but even as mysqldump | bzip2 -9 >file.bz2, it didn't fit into the 60Gb of space. How safe is moving the data directory? = This is because dump are ascii data, bigger than binary tables unless u have _huge_ indices. switching say from dev-db/mysql-5.0.18 to dev-db/mysql-5.0.18-r30 is _totally_ safe do one of these two things: a) stop the databases, then _move_ the data from /var/lib/mysql to /var/lib/mysql-500 or b) change "datadir" value in "/etc/mysql-500/my.cnf to" "/var/lib/mysql" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
