where is the actual mysql DB file stored? what it the name as well? found info on the net that pointed to either /usr/local/mysql/data or /usr/local/var neither of which contain a mysql dir, the latter doesnt even exsist on gentoo.
Gentoo default is /var/lib/mysql/ or you can try a locate <somedbname> assuming you have slocate installed. IIRC /var/lib/mysql is the Mysql default as well, but I can seem to find any reference to that or any other location.
