I’m using the latest mysql cookbook, and finding that on a thinly provisioned MySQL server with attached disk for MySQL, the “tmpdir” is hardcoded in /etc/mysql-default/my.cnf to be “/tmp”. This is a problem.
I’m happy to insert values in an /etc/mysql-default/conf.d/tmpdir.cfg, but those can be obscure when people simply read /etc/my.cnf. Can I get any traction to make that a setting in the LWRP?

Hi Nico.
This falls under Access to attribute in "templates/default/my.cnf.erb" · Issue #281 · sous-chefs/mysql · GitHub
I'm planning on fixing that up in the next feature release.
Overriding it with an mysql_config resource is the best thing to do for now.

Thanks. I think it needs to be instance specific, if it's used at all. While 'tmpdir' can often be safely shared for multiple simultaneously running MySQL instances, it can be helpful for multiple MySQL instances to have separate 'tmpdir' directories to segregate bulky or problematic operations.
