Hi I have looked up earlier postings on disk partitions and mysql and couldn't find any discussion threads. Mysql is storing data in the /usr partition of Redhat 9. The /usr partition is about 50% full. Within a year it will outlast the available space on /usr. The /var partition on the same machine has lots of free space. I am thinking if it is possible to store the data in the /var paritition, that would be a temporary fix until I can move the whole operation on to a bigger disk which could take a year (given the company bottom line :). Can someone please tell me how to manage multiple disk partitions in mysql? BTW, the mysql is version 4 or something like that. Thanks Murthy
