Hi-
Using MySQL 4.1.11 on Fedora 4.
I moved my data directory to a FAT partition in order to share it with
Windows dual-boot.
Now when I try to start mysqld normally, it fails with these messages in
the log:
060420 18:16:03 mysqld started
060420 18:16:03 [Warning] Can't create test file
/mnt/FAT/mysqldata/localhost.lower-test
/usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/mnt/FAT/mysqldata/'
(Errcode: 13)
060420 18:16:03 [ERROR] Aborting
However, I can start mysqld using: mysqld_safe, so I know it's possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Did you check FAT-permissions?
When mounting a FAT-partition, you have to set explicit permissions
while mounting as FAT does not understand the unix permission concept.
Try to mount this way:
mount -t vfat -o uid=mysql,gid=mysql,rw,umask=007 /dev/[yourdevicename]
/your/mountpoint
Then it should work.
Regards,
Dominik
