Challenge: identify this pattern in datadir

Август 2nd, 2010

You take a look at someone’s MySQL (or MariaDB) data directory, and see

mysql
foo
bar -> foo

  1. What’s the issue? Identify pattern.
  2. What does it mean?  Consequences.
  3. Is there any way it can be safe and useful/usable? Describe.

Good luck!
