Read Only Data Directory

2005-09-21 Thread Jake Peavy
Hey yall, I'm trying to use a DVD (containing a number of packed MyISAM tables in a directory) as the datadir in my my.cnf but I can't start the server: mysqld is trying to write to the datadir - error log, etc - and when it can't the server craters. Is there anyway of using a readonly directory
