Hi,
There's a mysqld startup option --datadir=/path/to/data which you can
use to alter your data directory. Simply adjust your startup scripts
to suite.

Hi All,
I am trying to find out how to change the location of the data files. I have
not yet found a generic entry for the my.conf file to set a data and log
location.
Can I move the exiting data directory form the mySQL tree and put a soft
link to a new location on another partition?
thanks,
Scott Johnson

Hi Scott and Adam,
You don't even have to modify the startup scripts, just add
datadir=/path/to/mysql/stuff
to the my.cnf file and it will point to there.
