Hi As part of solving https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=947344 I am doing the following changes: 1) Create all *.md5 files in /tmp/db 2) Create db log files by default under /var/log/ovirt-engine/db 3) Do not automatically create a *.schema file that represent the up-to-date schema (after all upgrades took place) A new utility script exportDbSchema.sh will be available for that (manual only, no auto-generation schema) In order that DB scripts in development environment will keep working, please do If you are getting "Permission Denied" errors while running the scripts it means that you didn't run the 2 commands above. If you have any comments/suggestions to this solution, please respond before this patch is merged, I will wait with this change to next SUN , APR 21 2013 Best Regards Eli
