Assuming the permissions on your original directories and files are correct you could eliminate steps 3+4 and change step 6 to: rsync -av mysql/your_database_name /mnt/mysql_db The -a flag will preserve the file ownerships and permissions for you. Then you just have to delete the old files once you're happy that everything went smoothly.
