I am trying to move the data directory of my MySQL database to a second disk array that I have as a mount point /array2/.
The problem I am having is I have tried everything and after I modify the location of datadir in my.cnf mysql will not start up again.
All I get is:
start: Job failed to start
I accidentally exited do-release-upgrade using cmd+c. It was in the middle of doing a MySQL upgrade and it was asking me about what it wanted to do with the my.cnf file any suggestions? Really need help with this ASAP
this is what I know is going on at the moment
