Hello,
I have a 4.5 FreeBSD server with mysql database. only 250MB
was allocated to /var/db. Our database is increasing so fast that now
i need to expand the memory for /var/db. I guess one way to do is to
install a new hard drive and then mount it to /var/db. But i would
like to know if there is any other way to solve that problem. Is
making a soft link a good idea. Is there any better solution for it. i have 70GB in /usr/ so i would like to map /var/db/ to some location in /usr. Please let me know if
anyone has any suggestions.
Sure, that'll work.
Make sure you shut down your MySQL server first. Then copy /var/db to /usr somewhere. Remove /var/db and replace it with a symlink to your new location.
You might also want to make a backup first, too. :-)
