Hi
I have an old ubuntu 16 simple 5$ droplet. Mysql was installed. But it is full now -> 19GB. So I create a new 18 ubuntu server and 100gb blockstage. Blockstroge is in /mnt.
When I install mysql, it goes to install in root path so the database size is limited 20GB again.how can I use blockstorage for mysql.
thanks

you can mount the block storage under the default data location, /var/lib/mysql.
Steps would roughly be;
- shutdown mysql
- unmount /mnt
- mount block storage volume in
/var/lib/mysqllocation - start mysql

Hi there,
In addition to what has already been mentioned here, you can now add scalable storage to managed database clusters as shown in this video here as well:
