Thanks for the tips. Where can I find more details about the ibdata file?
After I changed the data dir, hese file did get recreated. So far, I
have not noticed any data loss yet.
Best,

That procedure is horribly incorrect. You should simply move the
ib_log and ibdata files with the rest of the datadir. The ibdata1 file
contains innodb's system tables and depending on your setting of
innodb_file_per_table it also contains your data!

Yes, I did.

Hi there,
I am using MySQL on ubuntu 8.04.
I followed this link
http://www.ubuntu-howto.info/howto/how-to-move-mysql-databases-to-another-location-partition-or-hard-drive
to change the data directory of MySQL.
After stopping MySQL: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
I make a new directory: sudo mkdir /media/disk/MySQL_data
then change the ownership of new directory, sudo chown mysql:mysql
/media/disk/MySQL_data
and copy all data to the new directory, cp -r -p /var/lib/mysql/*
/media/disk/MySQL_data/ and deleted all files like ibdata1,
Chen, Did you really delete ibdata1 ?
ib_logfile0, and ib_logfile1.
I then edit /etc/mysql/my.conf and update the "datadir" to my new
directory. I also update /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysql so that news
lines with /var/lib/mysql replaced by /media/disk/MySQL_data are
added.
However, after sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
I try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
I got
* Starting MySQL database server mysqld
[fail]
If I change the "datadir" line in /etc/mysql/my.conf back to the
original one, I can start MySQL successfully.
I think I have done everything needed to change MySQL data directory.
Why am I still getting this error? Where can I start to look for
the causes?
Thanks.
Jia
