I have a need to move an installation of mysql from /var/lib/mysql to another

I installed a new 1 T disk on new system.
used "yum" to install mysql-server mysql it installs and runs
from /var/lib/mysql
/etc/init.d/mysqld stop
I followed the procedure in RH to move the data files etc.
Once you change the my.cnf to new location
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
long delay
(failed)
Not much of an error message.
The last time I use ln -s to link new disk to /var/lib/mysql. When system
was rebuilt this went away and I need a reliable way to move mysql to new
disk.
Thank You

Larry,
Does this system have Selinux enabled? If so does selinux like how you
did the move. I assume you mounted the new disk on /var/lib/mysql .
There is a mysql log file in /var/log/mysql.log is there any entries
from when you did the /etc/init.d/mysqld start .
