I did add something to Mariadb on the new CentOS-7 system,
but I don't mind deleting it and starting again.
I can mount the partition with the old mysql files on it.
Could I just copy the contents of /mnt/var/lib/mysql
to the new system?
There are files with the same name, eg ibdata1, on both systems.
Could I have an ibdata2 ?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
