Hello,
When we run the optimization process on some XYZ table using pt-archiver, the optimization process is using /mnt/data (default Data directory) which do not have enough disk space to run the process, so instead of that i have added new disk called (/optimization-data partition) to run the optimization. Looking for an option to pass the new disk as parameter and try to run the optimization process on that disk.
# Is there any such option is available to run the percona pt-archiver (for optimize) to include specific partition in the command Below is the current command we use for optimize
pt-archiver --no-check-charset --source h=localhost,D=ABCD,t=XYZ --purge --optimize=s --where “id \< 12345” ========================================
we need to include /optimization-data partition to run the optimization process
fyi.. I have made the changes in the configuration file to read the tmpdir as below
sesemi@mysql [(none)]\> show variables like ‘tmpdir’;
±--------------±-------------------+
| Variable\_name | Value |
±--------------±-------------------+
| tmpdir | /optimization-data |
±--------------±-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Thank you

Hi,
It is not possible to specify a different mount point to run the optimizer but you can move the table to a different (and PERMANENT) mount point using pt-online-schema-change:

Thank you for making me clear
