I'm looking to upgrade/switch away from MySQL 5.6 in favor of MariaDB 10.1.x however, I received the following fatal error:
As of MariaDB 10.1.16, the data directory cannot reside in /home, /usr, /etc, /boot, or /root directories on systemd equipped systems. You must move your MySQL data directory outside of these directories before continuing with this upgrade.
I understand from a bit of research that this might be related to the default SELinux permissions but not exactly sure.
My question and issue is that my sql datadir is >170gb, and I don't have another partition other than /home to move it to. Is there anyway I can work around this, perhaps a symlink??
After a couple hours of googling I've hit a wall, surely someone else has encountered this, and was able to persevere?
Thanks in advance!
