Hi all, I have recently installed a MySQL server and client RPM 3.23.47 on a Linux system. The system that I am setting up is a Cobalt RAQ4, first time for me to install MySQL on Linux.
The installed datadir turned out to be /var/lib/mysql. I get errors when trying to move a very large MySQL data (800MB) directory from a previous host system. It turns out that the /var directory has it's own partition, I think. A 'df' command shows not enough room on the /var directory for the MySQL data files. I am thinking I need to change the datadir variable to somewhere on the /home directory, where I have > 15GB free. How can I achieve this? Or is this the right approach? I think I understood that the server can be started up with a different --datadir option, but I would like this to be more permanent in case of system reboots.
