It wasn't the upgrade; this is just probably the first time your MySQL server's restarted. There's been an issue with the MySQL manifest for some time. The issue can be reproduced by creating a new instance, running puppetd -tv, then restarting MySQL; this causes the problem you report. If I recall correctly, MyISAM files are in /var/lib/mysql, which is the server's initial data directory when it starts successfully, then it's changed to /mnt/mysql and that's where InnoDB files are(?). I believe I ended up moving testwiki to /mnt/mysql and running mysql_install_db to recreate the mysql directory in that data directory. I reported this on August 8th to a root who was already aware of the problem. *shrug* > Any ideas or advice?
