[Voyage-linux] MySQL

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hi Rainer,

This is something we have talked about in the past but I have not tried to
do it yet. I've never worked with multiple partitions in Linux before. I
like this idea very much.

Do you have any advice on how to create this second partition? And how I can
write files to it? Are there any gotchas I need to watch out for? We're
currently creating our disks using the Live CD. I assume this is where I
create the second partition?

Also, do you know if this second partition included in a disk replication
using DD?

Thanks,

Robert

May be it will work if you make a second partition.
Then you can make this partition permanently writable.
So I do with my application.
