Ubuntu下面MySQL的参数文件my.cnf浅析

前几天刚接手一个MySQL数据，操作系统为Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS，  数据库版本为5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1（APT方式安装的MySQL）。这个操作系统下的MySQL的配置文件my.cnf很多地方都让人有点不适应（跟之前的MySQL环境有些出入，之前都是维护RHEL、CentOS等操作系统环境下的MySQL）。遂研究总结了一下。具体如下所示：

root@mylnx12:~# find / -name "my.cnf"

/etc/alternatives/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf

root@mylnx12:~# locate my.cnf

/etc/alternatives/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback

/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf

root@mylnx12:~# mysql --help | grep my.cnf

                      order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,

/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf 

root@mylnx12:~#  mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 'Default options'

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:

/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf 

从上面这些信息判断，MySQL的参数文件为/etc/mysql/my.cnf， 但是其他几个my.cnf又是什么情况呢？

root@mylnx12:~# ls -lrt /etc/alternatives/my.cnf

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 28 16:28 /etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

从上面信息可以看出，/etc/alternatives/my.cnf 其实是一个软连接，指向参数文件/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

root@mylnx12:~# cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf

auto

/etc/mysql/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback

100

/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

200

光从上面这些信息，我们还看不出/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf与其它配置文件my.cnf是什么关系。那么我们先来看看参数文件/etc/mysql/my.cnf,从下面信息，可以看出“/etc/mysql/my.cnf”是全局配置，“~/.my.cnf”隐藏文件是个人用户设置.

root@mylnx12:~# cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf

#

# The MySQL database server configuration file.

#

# You can copy this to one of:

# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,

# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.

# 

# One can use all long options that the program supports.

# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with

# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.

#

# For explanations see

# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

#

# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!

#   The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.

#

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/

!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

但是/etc/mysql/my.cnf参数文件下面没有任何参数设置，只看到下面两行设置，表示导入这两个目录里面的配置文件。

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/

#表示包含/etc/mysql/conf.d/这个路径下面的配置文件，前提是必须以为.cnf为后缀

!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

#表示包含/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/这个路径下面的配置文件，前提是必须以为.cnf为后缀

其实MySQL的相关配置都位于mysqld.cnf（/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf）下面。使用相关参数测试了一下，确实都能生效。这种设置确实有点让刚接触的人有点不适应。暂时先总结到此！

root@mylnx12:~# cd /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

root@mylnx12:/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d# ls -lrt

total 8

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   21 Feb  4  2017 mysqld_safe_syslog.cnf
