root@mylnx12:~#  mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 'Default options'
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf

从上面这些信息判定，MySQL 的参数文件为 /etc/mysql/my.cnf，昆山软件开发， 可是其他几个 my.cnf 又是什么环境呢？

root@mylnx12:~# ls -lrt /etc/alternatives/my.cnf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Sep 28 16:28 /etc/alternatives/my.cnf -> /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

从上面信息可以看出，/etc/alternatives/my.cnf 其实是一个软毗连，指向参数文件 /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf

root@mylnx12:~# cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf
auto
/etc/mysql/my.cnf

/etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback
100
/etc/mysql/mysql.cnf
200

光从上面这些信息，我们还看不出 /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/my.cnf 与其它设置文件 my.cnf 是什么干系。那么我们先来看看参数文件 /etc/mysql/my.cnf，从下面信息，可以看出 “/etc/mysql/my.cnf” 是全局设置，“~/.my.cnf” 埋没文件是小我私家用户配置。

root@mylnx12:~# cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
# 
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

#
# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
#   The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.
#

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

可是 /etc/mysql/my.cnf 参数文件下面没有任何参数配置，只看到下面两行配置，昆山软件公司，暗示导入这两个目次内里的设置文件。

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/

 # 暗示包括 /etc/mysql/conf.d/ 这个路径下面的设置文件，前提是必需觉得 .cnf 为后缀

!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/

# 暗示包括 /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/ 这个路径下面的设置文件，劳务派遣管理系统，前提是必需觉得 .cnf 为后缀

其实MySQL的相关设置都位于 mysqld.cnf（/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf）下面。利用相关参数测试了一下，确实都能生效。这种配置确实有点让刚打仗的人有点不适应。临时先总结到此！
