Mysql vs /var partition...

I'm not entirely sure if this was mentioned already but it's worth a look.
Usually as a rule of thumb, as soon as I complete an installation of mysql I
do the following...note that mysql is indeed running during this procedure:
cd /var/db
mv mysql /usr/local/
ln -s /usr/local/mysql mysql
Then I changed the permissions.
cd /usr/local
chown -R mysql mysql
And then restarted mysqld.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh restart
Hope this helps
Joe

Subject: Mysql vs /var partition...
Hi All:
My mysql database is growing, it has subsequently filled the /var/db
partition to capacity.
I tried moving the mysql dir and symlinking it to /var/db/mysql which
didn't work. I also tried mount_null from the /usr partition to the
/var/db/mysql folder...in both instances, the mysql server will not start.
Is there another way around this problem or do i need to somehow resize
my /var partition?
