> DietPi-Software | MySQL/MariaDB: Data store is now located in the DietPi User data location (eg: /mnt/dietpi\_userdata/mysql). Should offer improved performance for USB drive users: \> [https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/672](https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/672)

How can i undo these change?

Because i use an Odroid C2 with eMMC and SD card.  
The SD card is used as backup storage and for the user data.

Why not make it optional (dietpi.txt)?

Thanks.
