Hi All

I have created a partition on one of my computer to store critical system data 
files called /mnt/System_Data.


I am trying to configure MySQL so that it will use /mnt/System_Data as its 
default file storage.

I looked for /etc/my.cnf; found I did not have one so I generated one.

My /etc/my.cnf files contains exactly 1 line which is:
datadir=/mnt/System_Data

When I start MySQL I now receive the following error message:

Found option without preceding group in config file /etc/my.cnf at line 1.
Fatail error in default handling.
Program aborted.

Would appreciate help in ascertaining what should be added or how current 
should be modified.

Frank
