MySQL and exteNd: how to change MySQL data root permanently?

[Evgeniy Lotosh]

Our NW 6.5 server was upgraded fron NW 5.1 so its SYS volume has the
traditional file system. When I try to start MySQL using mysqld_safe command
it says that DATA directory is placed on non-NSS voume and exits. I can
use -h paramater (myqsqld_safe -h <new DATA root>) but it does not solve my
problem. I cannot install exteNd application server correctly because it
unloads MYSQL_Safe daemon during installation and then loads it again using
default settings (including incorrect data root).

Is there a place where I can replace old DATA folder path permanently?

Create a my.cnf file in sys:etc that contains

[mysqld]
datadir = mysql:/data

it should read that by default or you might have to use

mysqld_safe --defaults-file=sys:\etc\my.cnf
