Hi Majoosh, thanks. But I created an empty /var/lib/mysql partition before I wanted to install mysql. With the result that I could not install mysql successfully. I probably have to re-enact it again because I do not remember whether the install failed or the server did not start up. It was the later, I think.

Before moving the data do an ls -aliZ /var/lib/ | grep -i mysql and use the same security context accordingly once you move it to new server/partition using "chcon"

Hi all,
one of my "lingering issues" since I am back working in Linuxland (especially CentOS):
I have the "habit" to have dedicated virtual disks (or similar) for data, e.g. /var/lib/mysql (so I can snapshot them separately, clone and move between VMs etc.)
But that makes SELinux unhappy. I was surprised, actually..
What do I have to add to the SELinux contexts to allow this to happen?
Regards Peter
