Is conversion required?

2010-09-29 Thread Paul Halliday
I just converted (reinstalled) a FreeBSD system from i386 to amd64. Of
course; I missed the memo. I have been struggling to get everything back
online. I just finished exporting a few Gigs of RRD's to XML so that I could
use them :|

My question: I was s/rushing/stupid so I just moved /var/mysql to a
partition (i386) and reinstalled. Can I just copy this back or does some
magic need to happen first?

Thanks!

If you're talking about the data, I wouldn't expect this change to cause
issues, unless perhaps you're also updating to a different version of
MySQL. That could be a problem, depending on how different the old and
new versions are. Consult the upgrading section of the manual to see.
