I just upgraded from v3.23.49 to v4.0.24 only to find that I had apparently lost all my databases. Checking /var/lib/mysql revealed that it only contained the mysql and test DBs. After a short panic attack I located the original DBs under /opt/mysql and remembered that I had moved them there and symlinked /opt/mysql to /var/lib/mysql. It would appear that the upgrade removed the symlink and recreated only the original DBs.
I've recreated the symlink and now only have one error remaining. The cron.daily/mysql-server run is generating an Access Denied, but I'm guessing that this is due to the upgrade not operating on the original mysql DB but rather the new one it created. This effectively crippled two production sites until the cause was located. -- Jamin W. Collins Remember, root always has a loaded gun.
