  Yes its simple, just move and symbolic link. I followed this steps. /etc/init.d/mysql stop mkdir /home/var_mysql mv /var/lib/mysql /home/var_mysql chown -R mysql:mysql /home/var_mysql/mysql ln -s /home/var_mysql/mysql /var/lib/mysql /etc/init.d/mysql start

  Hello, The upgrade should work, but I strongly recommend backing up your databases beforehand because this is an unsupported configuration. You should consider reverting this change if you have the available disk space, and then moving it back into place once the upgrade finishes. Thank you.
