That's what I had planned on doing, but I'll need to either copy or
move the existing /var data first. The part that kills me is that it is
possible to tell MySQL to put its data somewhere else, but when I reminded the
vendor about the existing file system the response I got was "The default is
/var."
I'm not trying to slam the vendor. I don't think these folks are
stupid; I just think they haven't tried it any other way before and it makes
them nervous.
My current plan:
/sbin/init 1
mv /var /oldvar
mount -t ext3 /logicalvolumestuff /var
cd /oldvar
cp -ar * /var
I'm thinking of making some sort of voodoo good luck charm first. Anybody know
where I can get a live chicken?

>From my AIX days, MQSeries wanted to use /var as well.
What we did was overmount a LV on /var, using different disk. I'm not
sure if that will work here though.
