[Gllug] Extract the data from a MySQL database's *files*?

[Richard Jones]

I've got a friend who has a VM image.  This image used to be a MySQL
database instance, but for various reasons we cannot boot it any more.

However, the raw MySQL database files are still on there.

Can we extract the data somehow?  Can we tell another MySQL instance
to look at these files?

(No he doesn't have a backup, and yes the data is important ...)

Rich.
