Good morning: What is the proper method of creating ibdata files with mysqld_multi? Using mysqld_multi the second server started, but just created one ibdata file instead of four, which I have indicated in the second servers' my.cnf file located in its data dir. Also, I was unable to log on to the new mysql server and I was unable to stop the server. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for any help. Respectfully, Michael
