Hi,
If the tables are not in use you can tar -cvzf filename.tar.gz the datadir
and move it to the new server, but you should use the same mysql version.
Thanks & Regards

Subject: how to move datadir to a different file system
Everything was installed under / file system ( linux )
need to move all existing databases also to new file system ( say
/mysqldata )
Can I simply change in my.cnf and copy files to new location ?
Thanks
Saurabh
