I can't find any solution to this so I'll just keep the original settings and use a symbolic link to the new place I wanna place it. Lots of things I get through googling keeps saying the there is a .my.cnf in the user directory but that ain't it so... It kinda feels bad doing this since you should ...

I thought and just now tested that the function: get_mysql_option mysqld datadir "/webdata/database/mysql" will get the correct dir that is set in /etc/my.cnf if it can't find it it'll set the dir to the default that is the one within the quotes. I tested to change my.cnf's datadir to /a/b...

congrats

I wish I was able to do something like that, but I think I'm not even close to that by far.

Did you find anything that might cause this?

distro = F11
I tried the things you suggested but I still get the same result
I think I set some mysqldi and not mysqld somewhere but can't remember where
could that be he issue?

I think the most cards they(my old work) used was 3Com so that's why I got like 15-20 of them so... nope Intel here......... until the one I just put in :P also from the old job lol, but that is the only Intel I got. but I DO know that sometime in the past, before or after udev, all the NICs I shuve...

Can't remember if I posted anything like this before and I can't find anything of it in here so I ask (again). On the new server I want the databases and the websites on a partition on its own so I installed mysql and changed the /etc/my.cnf. Changed the datadir and socket from '/var/lib/mysql' so t...

Even when you once configured them?
cos Ive been using some old 10/100 NICs from work and they all are the same type and I didn't have that problem. Once configured, they just worked.

good enough reasons to me

You can say that again I still haven't noticed anything positive about it, but you said it's nice so it gotta be, hope I'll find that out in the future

Thanks for the answer

Sorry didn't read it right

If you need help with sendmail, you can read up on my old questions to VoidMain. I've read it lots of times and this is the best guide I've even seen.
Sorry about the lots of pages though, that's just cos I suck

This happens to me all the time. You'll probably find an entry for each of your cards in this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules In each config line there should be a mac address and a "NAME" (you probably will have eth0 and eth1). Just replace "eth0" with "eth...

The man says that using the UUID 'is more robust' so OK, I'll keep it, but I can't find the "translation" to the /dev/sdx' anywhere.
If I need to take a device down, I need to know what that device is, cos I cant umount using the UUID.

I guessed that but it's so much more good to keep the user more clever than MS.
... and it sure looks cooler when I show it off to buddies that don't know jak about Linux
