Cannot set tmpdir on per instance basis #526

Closed nkadel-skyhook closed 7 years ago

nkadel-skyhook commented 7 years ago

Cookbook version

mysql cookbook 7.2.0

Chef-client version

chefclient 12.10.14 Using chefdk-0.14, for chef-solo compatibility

Platform Details

CentOS 6

Scenario:

I need to set a different tmp_dir for different large instances running on separate filesystems. But the "my.cnf" for even a single instance at /etc/mysql-default/my.cnf is autoconfigured to "/tmp" I can find no way to reset it on an instance by instance basis.

Steps to Reproduce:

Use "mysql" cookbook to generate "mysql-default" instance. Observe /etc/mysql-default/my.cnf.

Expected Result:

Actual Result:

There is no error reported because I can't find a working way to tune the instance specific "tmp_dir" attribute. If I can set this gracefully from a personal recipe or node, great, but I'm unclear on the syntax.

Perhaps this could, instead, be a mysql_service associated attribute, one that defaults to /tmp ?

I've learned how to do this better by reading the documentation more thoroughly. The "tmpdir" needs to be set in the stanza that sets the particular instance, itself. Thanks for making this cookbook.
