where Data of an application is stored in Linux ?
 

Dears,

lets say that I have a server with a local storage and NFS storage.

I want to install an application, lets say MySQL,

how to tell Linux that save data of Databases in NFS ??

how can I costume where application should stored its data during installing packages of the application ??

Thanks

You don't do that during installation. After installing MySQL you edit its configuration files (for MySQL see /etc/mysql) to your likings, for example the storage path of databases is configured by the option datadir in the section [mysqld] in the file /etc/mysql/my.cnf (at least on Debian).

Thank you TobiSGD, but I have mentioned MySQL as an example, I need to control where data of any application should to be stored.

how to do that, is there a standard way in Linux for all application such Windows, or that depend on configurations of the application ??

It usually depends on application configuration, though many applications store data in /var/lib (especially server type and system management applications) or the user's $HOME directory (mostly apps where per user storage makes sense).

For the most part, each application logs its data wherever you tell it to.
