hi!
Is it possible to install mysql with the data on an LVM volume?
My normal procedure on other distirbutions is to mount the volume on /var/lib/mysql prior to installation so that initial database is directly written on the logical volume.
However in 18.04 server the mysql-server installation fails with: “Error occurred: Cannot select database.”
I can see this old issue that seems the cause of the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1580794
Has anybody got a workaround?
How is this done properly in Ubuntu?
