Hi,
I have installed mysql on SuSE Linux from an rpm. It works but I
want to move the data directory to a larger disk on my machine.
How do I do it??
If I create a symbolic link to the /var/lib/mysql directory, the
mysql.sock (don't really understand what this file does) file
vanishes and I can't restart the server.
If I make a sumbolic link to the actual database sybdirectories, it
doesn't see them properly.
If I edit the /etc/rc.d/mysql file to change the data directory, the
.sock file vanishes again and it won't start.
What is the procedure?
