[Bug 1210426] [NEW] Mysql daemon does not start - corrupted init script

[Peter Júnoš]

Public bug reported:

After last upgrade, mysqld 5.5.32-0ubuntu does not start.

Fix:
edit /etc/init/mysql.conf and replace
    # check for diskspace shortage
    datadir=`mysqld_get_param datadir`
    if LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability $datadir/. | tail -n 1 | awk '{ exit ($4<4096) }'; then

with
    # check for diskspace shortage
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql
    if LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability $datadir/. | tail -n 1 | awk '{ exit ($4>4096) }'; then

edit "datadir" to point to your datadir - this is default configuration.

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=13.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=raring
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 13.04"
