Thank you for your report and your help to make Ubuntu better. I was liking in the related upstream bug as task above to get better visibility of its status.
On the upstream issue discussions reopened around the question if mysql has to provide updated start scripts or if the packages shall add the --ignore-db-dir on their own. Never the less I think that is a valid issue, but I'd leave the final triage to Lars/Robie that I will subscribe now. ** Bug watch added: MySQL Bug System #22615 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22615 ** Also affects: mysql-server via http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22615 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685136 Title: MySQL fresh install failes with ext4 data partition on Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mysql-server/+bug/1685136/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
