hi all, I'm running mysql 3.22 on my RaQ2 system. mysql was installed and configured on /var dir. but now that the databases are growing system is running out of disk space. So I decided to change the datadir=/home/mysql then I tried to move the mysql databases using following command being a
root mv /var/lib/mysql/* /home/mysql/ -R but I get the following messages [root admin]# mv /var/lib/mysql/* /home/mysql/ -R mv: invalid option -- R Try `mv --help' for more information. can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or provide me with a solution to this problem. oh and if I don't use the -R option then I get error as the files under /var/lib/mysql/ are not regular files. please help. thanks so much. sorry about my bad English. rahad --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
