You can tell mysql where to look for pretty much anything via my.cnf, or rc.conf settings (i think you want to do the latter). - the /var/db/mysql is the default, but by no means unchangeable. for example, mount your partition in /mnt/dbs , make a directory /mnt/dbs/mysql and point mysql to this. the .snap will be in /mnt/dbs . _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome "Software is like sex, its better when its free" Linus Torvalds I speak for myself, not my employer.
