Hi -- 24 hours ago I did a 'mysqlhotcopy' of a working database, then inadverntently did an 'rsync' copy of that copy, _over_ the working database tables.
Today, mysql is saying "Can't read dir ./thedatabase/'" when I start up a conversation. :( Meanwhile, Perl scripts have been working on that database and giving the appearance that they've been succeeding -- but it looks to me like no transaction has been recorded to the tables on disk, in the past 24 hours. Two questions, then: - How (where?) do I address mysql's inability to "read dir" for these database tables? (Looks like it's trying to find them in the place I had mysqlhotcopy place its copies, instead of in the place where they really are, /var/lib/mysqld/thedatabase/.) - Is there (he asked, hopefully) a 'buffer' mysql has been keeping during the last 24 hours, that might be holding transactions that were not written to the tables on disk, but still could be written to those tables now...?
