Hi, thanks for this... I've got to stage 2) of make Linux changes. After making the change to fstab this stopped Linux rebooting. Fortunately I had done a disk image of the Linux partition. After restoring I tried again, and did "mount -a": I got "mount: can't find LABEL="Shared"". Maybe this "New Volume" as called by Linux needs to be renamed "Shared"?mike rodent– mike rodent2018-05-19 18:10:15 +00:00Commented May 19, 2018 at 18:10

Managing now to mount the partition "manually" with all those options "mount -o rw,nosuid... " ... but I'm still getting "ERROR 2002 (HY000) : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" when I go "mysql -u root -p" as root or as a user (with sudo).mike rodent– mike rodent2018-05-20 10:00:49 +00:00Commented May 20, 2018 at 10:00

Ha ... have got Linux installing and using a dbase on the Shared partition. But when I go back to W10 there is absolutely no file called "*.cnf" under the MySQL directory. BTW am using MariaDB (close fork of MySQL).mike rodent– mike rodent2018-05-20 17:08:53 +00:00Commented May 20, 2018 at 17:08

@mike rodent, With MySQL this was in C/Users/All Users/MySQL Server 5.6/. But by now I've also moved to MaridDB 10.2, so checkout C/Program Files/MariaDB 10.2/data/*.iniElliptical view– Elliptical view2018-05-21 04:27:08 +00:00Commented May 21, 2018 at 4:27

Yes, got that, Tx. ... BTW your answer has been very valuable to me... I'm eventually going to put my own answer here on the basis of what I've learnt (I have now managed to get this sharing working). Incidentally, when I include your fstab line my Linux (Mint Cinnamon 18.3) fails to boot, so mounting manually. As a Linux newb I'm still trying to understand this and a couple of other slight snags.mike rodent– mike rodent2018-05-21 15:34:37 +00:00Commented May 21, 2018 at 15:34

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
