Could you please be a bit more specific about the mysql problem(s) one will get? I just thought about a similar migration, not from sarge but from etch 32 bit to etch 64 bit on a production machine.Quite simple, really: it won't work. You need to do a mysqldump to a text file and reload it on the 64-bit system.Really? I've did a rsync yesterday from a mysql5.0 database on "etch" 32-bit to a mysql5.0 database on "lenny" 64-bit and it works without any problem.
Thanks for the hint. That was what I thought to have done some month ago, too - without any problem. But I have to admit that today I'm not really sure about the mysql versions involved at that time. So basically thats why I'm asked for more details about the problems ;-)
