Alright it looks like my plan worked. I created a 16 GB drive in VMWare, mounted it at some generic location, copied /srv/mysql onto it and then re mounted it on /srv/mysql. So far, no space problems and all seems mostly right with the world. The next thing I would like to try (since this VM server is installed on the same physical server as the original installed-from-source Zenoss instance that collected a good bit of data over its few of months in operation) is to create a drive in VMWare that maps to a physical partition (/var/lib/mysql) on the host machine. I will then mount that drive in place of /srv/mysql on the virtual machine. This should give me all of the data from the old system without any of the broken install. Does this sound like a big mistake? Should I just spend my time working on upgrading / fixing the physical install?
