I'm not entirely sure if this was mentioned already but it's worth a look. Usually as a rule of thumb, as soon as I complete an installation of mysql I do the following...note that mysql is indeed running during this procedure: cd /var/db mv mysql /usr/local/ ln -s /usr/local/mysql mysql Then I changed the permissions. cd /usr/local chown -R mysql mysql And then restarted mysqld. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh restart Hope this helps Joe -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Matt Virus Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 1:19 PM To: freebsd Subject: Mysql vs /var partition... Hi All: My mysql database is growing, it has subsequently filled the /var/db partition to capacity. I tried moving the mysql dir and symlinking it to /var/db/mysql which didn't work. I also tried mount_null from the /usr partition to the /var/db/mysql folder...in both instances, the mysql server will not start. Is there another way around this problem or do i need to somehow resize my /var partition? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
