I don't understand why use a chroot to simply run another instance of
MySQL. Is there any good reason?
All you gotta do is create a new configuration file that points to a
different database location and uses a different port, and clone and
edit another /etc/init.d/mysql script to point to the new config file.
A chroot would be just a waste of space, since you can use the same
binary for multiple instances.
About the only reason to run multiple instances is testing different
versions hence the chroot.
