After doing more cleanup on my Linode, I came upon a directory I had forgotten about (4 years old): /home/mysql-data. Of course - this just makes sense - I don't want data in my root partition. So the only bug here is that my modified /etc/my.cnf (to point to /home/mysql-data) was blown away during the dist-upgrade, and completely explains why there's a lack of upgrade logs in /var/lib/mysql - it never was used before. Dropping severity to Major since /etc/my.cnf is nuked in this scenario, but all my actual data is safe still. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
