When galera is used we want a stop to kill off not only the mysqld
process but the entire process group created by galera to perform
sst or wsrep_notify_cmd.`
Galera recovery process works in two phases. In the first
phase, mysqld is started as non-daemon with --wsrep-recover
to recover and fetch the last logged global transaction ID.
This ID is then used in second phase as the start position
(--wsrep-start-position=XX) to start mysqld as daemon.
As this process was implemented in mysqld_safe script, the
recovery did not work when server was started using systemd.
Fixed by introducing a shell script (wsrep_recovery.sh) that
mimics the first phase of the recovery process.
--defaults-xxx options must be placed before all other
options in the command line. Also moved MYSQLD_OPTS at
the end so that its options take precedence.
Adjust systemd files to enable CAP_IPC_LOCK to allow rootless mlockall
(triggered by memlock option).
This is amended version of a patch originally submitted by Daniel Black.
Use galera_new_cluster instead. systemctl start mariadb@bootstrap
will generate error message, use_galera_new_cluster.conf is the name
of the file that will generate this error.
Output:
Job for mariadb@bootstrap.service failed. See "systemctl status
mariadb@bootstrap.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

mariadb-service-convert during migration can create a file containing
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/sysctl -q -w vm.drop_caches=3 if the users my.cnf
contains [mysqld_safe] flush_caches. This sysctl entry change requires root
access. No existing ExecStartPre requires execution requires execution
as another user.
There is a comment in the mariadb{,@}.service.in that indicates
mysqld_install which would require -u mysql to explicity change user to
mysql from root since PermissionsStartOnly=true.
Otherwise the following error would be generated:
