I have been plowing through the mysql.com resources for something regarding the run-time configuration options as well as the my.cnf. In particular, I am trying to move the entire information store to a separate hard-drive.
This line confuses me: ---> Note that this is the directory that was specified at configuration time, not the one specified with --datadir when mysqld starts up! It is from: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Option_files.html DATADIR is the MySQL data directory (typically `/usr/local/mysql/data' for a binary installation or `/usr/local/var' for a source installation). Note that this is the directory that was specified at configuration time, not the one specified with --datadir when mysqld starts up! (--datadir has no effect on where the server looks for option files, because it looks for them before it processes any command-line arguments.) If anyone can explain that line, possibly point me to a good reference to the my.cnf and runtime options, I would be most appreciative.
