     The easiest way to do this would be to move the data directory and
all its contents onto the RAID disks.  Then symlink to that directory from
the original location. Example only from basic source install:

        mv /usr/local/mysql/var /hdRAID/var
        ln -s /hdRAID/var /usr/local/mysql/var

Please make sure that mysql is shutdown before doing this task.
