To recap I am trying to run 3.23.52 on FreeBSD 4.6.
I have /tmp symlinked to /var/tmp, and /var is a writable partition, while /
is readonly. When / is readonly mysqld is not able to run.
I've tracked down the problem to the safe_mysqld script. The problem is it
does:
USER_OPTION=""
if test -w /
then
if test "$user" != "root" -o $SET_USER = 1
then
USER_OPTION="--user=$user"
fi
So if / is not writable then my --user argument gets blown away. Yikes.
I believe this is a bug. If anyone knows why it's like this please let me
know. Until then I'll be patching my system so I can continue running...
Thanks,
-Lance
