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.

Regards

Peter

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
