I need to move mysql databases to a different partition. Can anyone tell me what I could do to move all the databases to /mnt/hda7.

first stop your mysql server, then just move all the files in /var/lib/mysql ( or whatever the default datadir is on your system ) to /mnt/hda7
Code:

mv /var/lib/mysql /mnt/hda7
chown -R mysql:mysql /mnt/hda7/mysql

the chown is to make sure the new dir is owned by mysql.
Next you have to edit my.cnf and under the [mysqld] section you will have to add
datadir=/mnt/hda7/mysql
and start mysqld
