Thanks a lot ofr taking the time to report this problem and help us make Ubuntu better. There is now an apparmor profile enabled by default for mysql that will prevent mysql to access non standard area of the file system. Puting the mysql profile in complain mode using "sudo aa-complain" as described in [1] should show you this in the logs. To fix this, you will need to add /mnt/fastdata/var/lib/mysql to the list of authorized paths in the apparmor mysql profile you will find in /etc/apparmor.d/. Marking this bug as invalid as it reflects an intended behaviour.
