Moving /var/lib/mysql
If you want to move the data which is stored in “/var” to another partition.
To move that path to another partition, run the following:
cd /home
mkdir mysql
chown mysql:mysql mysql
cd mysql
/sbin/service mysqld stop
cp -Rp /var/lib/mysql/* .
cd /var/lib
mv mysql mysql_old
ln -s /home/mysql ./mysql
/sbin/service mysqld start
mkdir mysql
chown mysql:mysql mysql
cd mysql
/sbin/service mysqld stop
cp -Rp /var/lib/mysql/* .
cd /var/lib
mv mysql mysql_old
ln -s /home/mysql ./mysql
/sbin/service mysqld start
Once satisfied that mysqld is running, remove the old data:
rm -rf mysql_old
