Bug#41002 - symlink.test fails on symlinked datadir
symlink.test failed when run in an environment that has mysql-test/var symlinked to elsewhere, e.g. a memory file system. This is the case when running mysql-test-run --mem. In this case the server does not detect that the directory specified with a DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY clause is within its data home directory. This problem was reported as Bug#39277 (Creation of table with data and/or index files in data home directory succeeds). It was decided that it will not be fixed in 5.1. Hence, the current behavior is accepted for 5.1. It will be fixed in 6.0 though. Fixed the test case so that it works in both environments. 1. When no symbolic link is involved, the server notices that the data/index directory is in its data hone directory and rejects the CREATE/ALTER TABLE statement. 2. When the data home directory is symlinked, it does not notice the problem and executes the statement sucessfully. mysql-test/r/symlink.result: Bug#41002 - symlink.test fails on symlinked datadir Updated test result. mysql-test/t/symlink.test: Bug#41002 - symlink.test fails on symlinked datadir Adjusted the test case to the accepted behavior. It needs to accept success and failure of some statements.
