Hi Christian, it happened again :)
the directory /var/lib/mysql/test is back, it's empty, but it's back. It looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll -d /var/lib/mysql/test drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql root 4096 May 16 08:25 /var/lib/mysql/test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ The other directories in /var/lib/mysql belong to the group mysql... I have attached an excerpt from my syslog from the same time. I hope they're of value to you. They are different from what mysql usually writes into my log.
