In the later part of June a new Linux Mysql server was installed.  
While mysqld was still running, the data folder was moved to a different
volume and a soft link to the new location was put in it's place.   I
know, bad idea, but everything seemed to work fine, so I didn't think
anything of it.   Today, the server had to be rebooted for the first
time since, and now all data since the folder move is gone.   It's as if
mysqld was just using ram to cache everything, and not writing out
changes to disk.    Is this true, that all data was only written to
memory and not disk, or is it possible that the data was written out to
a temporary location somewhere that I might be able to recover some of
this data from?
