Depends on the install. The rpm from mysql will install to /var/lib/mysql The worst of it, most linux default installs, /var is the smallest
Unknowing to myself, I had a database running away, default installs the both of them (well default then some modifications ) about 2 months later, CRASH!!! Wasted the whole system (as far as I am concerned) , mysql wasnt nice enough to stop writing when /var was full lucky for me the database was the only thing important on that server, and a backup was just done that morning (successfully to boot) -----Original Message----- From: Jonas Fornander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 1:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Default install directory I have a crashed computer and need the mysql databases recovered.
