应该是与权限有关, 更像是与某种安全机制有关. ubuntu 9.10默认未启用SELinux, 但是好像有个apparmor. 这时想起my.cnf里有段注释:
[mysqld]
#
# * Basic Settings
#
#
# * IMPORTANT
# If you make changes to these settings and your system uses apparmor, you may
# also need to also adjust /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld.
#
查看/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld, 的确是一些目录的权限设置. 照样加入/home/mysql. 重启成功
