    Description

      Hi guys
      I'm trying to load a database that I've got stored on another drive, using the same method as I currently use with MySQL
      I drop a symbolic link to the database folder of the database into my data drive, and simply access it
      Under MySQL this works perfectly happily, however under MariaDB, I get an access deneied message in procmon reported trying to access the db.opts file and accessing the folder itself
      It doesn't matter whether I use a junction or a symlink, both error in exactly the same way.
