Question

For homebrew mysql installs, where\'s my.cnf? Does it install one?

Answer 1

You can find where the my.cnf file has been provided by the specific package, e.g.

brew list mysql # or: mariadb

In addition to verify if that file is read, you can run:

sudo fs_usage | grep my.cnf

which will show you filesystem activity in real-time related to that file.
