Having just /var/lib/mysql on a separate partition probably isn't the best idea, you can't make a backup of that without backing up the logs too so it's best to put them on the same filesystem. For a system that has mysqld as an important part of the system functionality (which is most systems that have MySQL running) I create a subvol or filesystem named /mysql. semanage fcontext -a -t mysqld_db_t "/mysql(/.*)?" restorecon -R -v /mysql The above commands will give you the correct labeling for /mysql. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
