Quoting MDEV reporter Daniel Lewart:
Starting MariaDB with default configuration causes the following problems:
"[Warning] Could not increase number of max_open_files to more than 16384 (request: 32186)"
silently reduces table_open_cache_instances from 8 (default) to 4
Default Server System Variables:
extra_max_connections = 1
max_connections = 151
table_open_cache = 2000
table_open_cache_instances = 8
thread_pool_size = 4
LimitNOFILE=16834 is in the following files:
support-files/mariadb.service.in
support-files/mariadb@.service.in
Looking at sql/mysqld.cc lines 3837-3917:
wanted_files= (extra_files + max_connections + extra_max_connections +
tc_size * 2 * tc_instances);
wanted_files+= threadpool_size;
Plugging in the default values:
wanted_files = (30 + 151 + 1 + 2000 * 2 * 8 + 4) = 32186
However, systemd configuration has LimitNOFILE = 16384, which is far smaller.
I suggest increasing LimitNOFILE to 32768.
we need to stop server instance on upgrade, but it may be started either by SysV init script or by SystemD.
this commit adds `mysql` target to `systemctl stop` call.
`mysql` may be the name of initscript or an alias while `mariadb` is
a systemd unit file.
This is just to make sure no ExecStartPre/Post actions from the
multi-instance MariaDB service definition are executed
when a user attempts to start mariadb@bootstrap.
Fixes: 3723c70a30
Replace all references to /usr/sbin/mysqld (and bin and libexec) with
mariadbd, so that the binary server will always be 'mariadbd'.
Also update all places that reference the server binary in other ways,
such as AppArmor profiles and scripts that previously expected to find
a 'mysqld' in process lists.
Create symlinks during configure time and install them. This is
necessary as Alias support from systemd service file was dropped with:
6af0bd6907
* Also ignore the generated symlinks in gitignore
Drop Aliases from the service file directive. Aliases in the service
file only take effect when the service is enabled. This is the case
because Aliases in service files do not have to be unique across various
services.
Shipping symlinks guarantees that one can always enable mariadb service
using `systemctl enable mysql` or `systemctl enable mysqld` and makes
the commands indempotent.
In main.index_merge_myisam we remove the test that was added in
commit a2d24def8c because
it duplicates the test case that was added in
commit 5af12e4635.
When trying to start mariadb via systemctl, WSREP failed
to start mysqld for wsrep recovery, because the binary
"galera-recovery" is neither searching the mysqld in the
same folder as the binary itself nor in the path variable
but instead expects the root to be /usr/local/mysql.
This fix changes the current directory to the desired
directory before starting mysqld.
It took me a long time to debug why my configs were not being loaded,
and judging from online discussions I'm not the only one. Make the
comment in the default my.cnf a bit more helpful.
The !includedir directive is implemented in mysys/my_default.c.
- f_extensions[] is a list of file extensions. It includes .ini and .cnf
on Windows, and only .cnf on all other platforms.
- search_default_file_with_ext() contains the !includedir directive. It
filters files in the directory to those matching f_extensions[].
This file should only be applicable on Unix-like platforms, so only
files with the .cnf extension are read.
Closes#1485
