Thanks a lot ofr taking the time to report this problem and help us make
Ubuntu better.

There is now an apparmor profile enabled by default for mysql that will
prevent mysql to access non standard area of the file system.  Puting
the mysql profile in complain mode using "sudo aa-complain" as described
in [1] should show you this in the logs.

To fix this, you will need to add /mnt/fastdata/var/lib/mysql to the
list of authorized paths in the apparmor mysql profile you will find in
/etc/apparmor.d/.

Marking this bug as invalid as it reflects an intended behaviour.
