I haven't used them with MySQL but they would work perfectly, since they are
completely transparent to programs (TreeSize thinks my 40 GB drive C: has 70
GB of data because of them). They are called junctions and only work with
folders on NTFS5 partitions. To create or delete junctions, you can use this
tool:

And they look like this from cmd.exe:

03/11/2001 10:30a <JUNCTION> movies
