Could you make the $ZENHOME/log, perf and var directories symlinks to your usb device? I just did a "find . -mtime 0" on my home install and those are the only Zenoss directories changed in the last day.

Hi,

I am starting Zenoss server on a bootable LiveCD, but I want persistency files like the mysql database files and any other Zenoss user-defined data files to be stored on an external USB Device for persistency across reboots.

My first attempt involved only changing MYSQL stuff:
1. Modified my.cnl to point to the mysql/data directory on the USB device. 2. Modified ctl.sh so the MYSQL_START command points to the datadir on this external device.

It seems MYSQL starts OK, but then I get this error from the Zenoss dashboard on the monitoring machine:

Type: OperationalError
Value: (1017, "Can't find file: './events/status.frm' (errno: 13)")

So, I'm guessing that there is other config file stuff that needs to be modified.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
