Description:
Currently ndb_mgmd does read /etc/config.ini as default configuration file for starting up MySQL Cluster. It would be nice, and good, if ndb_mgmd would read /etc/mysql/config.ini first, and then /etc/config.ini to keep backward compatibility.
This is in line of the change in MySQL 5.1 where the clients and mysqld reads /etc/mysql/my.cnf first.

 

How to repeat:
Start ndb_mgmd without /etc/config.ini, but /etc/mysql/config.ini. The file is not read.

Suggested fix:
- Read /etc/mysql/config.ini, then proceed with the current default locations

- Work around is to use the --config-file option in the my.cnf:
   [ndb_mgmd]
   config_file = /etc/mysql/config.ini
