    ERP5: fix mariadb initialization when datadir is not a simple directory · f9426bff
    Julien Muchembled authored
    The previous way to initialize ~/srv/mariadb relied on /bin/mv, so that
    it's atomic, making [template-mysqld-wrapper] idempotent (think of a
    crash in the middle mysql_install_db). However, mv only works if
    ~/srv/mariadb is a simple directory: it fails if it's a symlink,
    a mount point, or a subvolume (btrfs).
    
    When using extra storage devices for some data, one may prefer to only
    put the data (e.g. ~/srv/mariadb) and not the whole slapos partition.
    Then if we want a resilient ERP5 with catalog's datadir on a separate
    storage device, the importer script must be able to reinitialize
    ~/srv/mariadb whatever its type.
