* Christian Hammers | I like to build my mysql package with chroot support and therfore jail it | somewhere under /var/lib/mysql and link the log files to /var/log. | | I either statically link it so that it can be run from /usr/sbin and then | live in /var/lib because I don't want to have binaries in /var or | hardlink the libs from /usr/lib and /lib to /var/lib/mysql? | Without trying it out I would say that the latter way is preferred, isn't it?
No. Hardlinks doesn't work across filesystems and /usr is quite often on it's own partition. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
