You can move the files and then set up symlinks to them in the /mysql/data/dbName directory.

Is it possible to distribute the table-files to different discs, or even better, different machines, and still keep the flexability of having everything in one database. Example 1: Prefs: 1 Database 5 tables 5 discs Explanation: Put the first table on the same DISC as the database. The other tables have one DISC each. Example 2: Prefs: 1 database 5 tables 5 servers Explanation: Put the first table on the same SERVER as the database. The other tables have one SERVER each.
