Question

I have a Truecrypt partition, and I would like to create a mysql database on it, but I need to mount as a mysql user and mysql group, otherwise I can't create new tables. How can I mount this Truecrypt to belong to mysql user and mysql group?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I assume you're running Linux?

There seems to be a "--fs-options" flag, where you can specify the user and group of the truecrypt process.

Something like this might do it:

truecrypt --fs-options=users,uid=<uid of mysql user>,gid=<gid of mysql group>
