[erlang-questions] Mnesia schema replicas

[Dan Gudmundsson]

When you start mnesia without calling create_schema, mnesia will create an
empty ram_copies schema for you.

change_config(extra_db_nodes, ..) will connect and merge schema with the
server.

What you probably want is to call mnesia:change_table_copy_type(schema,
disc_copies, node)) after change_config.
