Do you know if the database was shut down properly? Or did Ubunto crash and die and your partition become unbootable while the database was in active use? Either way, you need to make sure MySQL is shut down when you move the files, and then repair them after starting. I've had good experiences moving MyISAM files that way, but bad experience moving INNODB files. I suspect the latter are more aggressively cached. :::: Mass media must constantly manipulate and deceive us in order to sell products...
