 Use Samba Share For Data Directory We have 5.0.27 installed on a CentOS machine that doesn't have a ton of disk space. Is it possible to point the data directory to lie on a samba connected share? The samba share does not support Unix file permissions so it is not possible to set mysql as the owner of the files. Is this possible at all? Thanks, Michael      |

If you use proper mount-options, you can set the owner of the files. mount -t smbfs -o uid=mysql $SHARE $DESTINATION In general: This should not be a problem, but it will be slow as the network is propably slower than your local disc. Guess you knew that. Regards Dominik |
