Hmm, ok. I have just one decent size database though. I want to split the tables in that database between disks. I haven't turned on innodb_file_per_table yet I'm trying to plan it out first, so I don't know the file layout yet. If my data directory is /var/db/mysql and my InnoDB data file is /var/db/mysql/ibdata1 then the table files will be created under /var/db/mysql/MyDatabase/MyTable1.ibd, /var/db/mysql/MyDatabase/MyTable2.ibd, etc it sounds like. Is there a way to split those table files? So I could have something like /data/disk1/MyTable1.ibd, /data/disk2/MyTable2.ibd? Thanks for your help.
