I am trying to configure mysql to use a different datadir than default in order to move this to a larger volume. I have copied all mysql data from /var/lib/mysql to my new volume and ran both chown -R mysql:mysql * and chmod -R 660 * in order to setup correct ownership and rights for the data. It was working for a few days until today upon going into mysql and typing show databases, I receive the following error: ERROR 1018 (HY000): Can't read dir of '.' (errno: 24). I quickly double checked my rights and found them to be correct, then I restarted mysqld and this has fixed it for now. <br>
<br>Has anyone else run into this problem? I am concerned that it will happen again if the actual cause is not corrected. I am running the latest Fedora on new quad core Dell hardware with 24GB RAM and 1.7TB of disk. Any help and/or suggestions much appreciated. Thanks.<br>
