hello, when my server was setup var partition was set to only 500mb, which is a little small espcially as has mysql databases in sub dir. i have space on another drive and would like to move a couple of databases there.

Could i just move the database dir (user_vbulletin ) to new drive and put sym link to it in /var/lib/mysql/

It should work. Let us know if it doesn't.

Yes. It would work. However remember to stop mysql when you carrying out this operation.
Have a great day :)

Regards
Amar

Thanks for reply, i will try it, i may also just move the whole /var/lib/mysql/ but leave /var/lib/ in same place, could i use same method?

many thanks

Yes. That would be a good idea...
