Hi!

Historically folks have been able to control the directory of datafiles and indexfiles for MyISAM. They have also been able to "symlink" file around in the directories. Now this has opened up a can of worms in the past, but the security issues around it have not come up in recent time.

Seeing how modern disks are configured is this something we should be supporting in the future? Does it still make sense?

I am leaning toward "no" but it would be nice to hear from deployment folks if this matters.

Cheers,
        -Brian
