Hello List: I want to setup two servers (later more servers added) sharing mysql data as a NFS Server & Client relationship;
Server-A: ---------- RH9, mysql-4.0.20, NFS Master This server is a DATA server. All data for the entire site is kept on this server in "/usr/local/mysql/var" which is symbolically linked to "/rad" folder. "/rad" folder consists of two IDE disks mirrored under RAID1. Everything is working fine on this server. Server-B: --------- RH9, mysql-4.0.20, NFS Client. This server is a MAIL server. I am following http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm to install various ( qmail, vpopmail, courier-map, qmail-scanner, clam, etc.) mail server software. Question: --------- I want to setup Server-B so that all mysql data lies on and shared from the DATA (Server-A) server. I know how to create a mount point "/rad" on server-B. I would like to know how the "/rad" mount point is incorporated as location of mysql data during the mysql installation on Server-B. For Example: When I install mysql software on Server-B as follows: % cd /usr/local % gunzip < mysql-4.0.20.tar.gz | tar -xvf - % cd mysql-version % ./configure -prefix=/usr/local/mysql % make % make install % scripts/mysql_install_db % ... At this point the mysql data is in "/usr/local/mysql/var". What do I need to do so that the Server-B points to Server-A for all mysql data retrieval and/or updates. I have to do a full installation of MySQL because other software on Server-B has dependency on mysql software! If somebody has done such an installation, please direct me to a solution. I researched GOOGLE extensively & have read the official mysql documentation & have not found an answer. It has been a chore to explain this problem. If my explanation is confusing, please let me know and I will answer your question. It seems to be very simple, but it is beyond me. I need help badly. Thanks in advance.
