mariadb failed

naha · 19 May 2021 16:04

I used the Drive Manager to set user data to an external SSD, transferring data in the process. After completing the transer mariadb failed to launch. I must admit I have no idea what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

mariadb status:

Ok it’s a permission issues for MariaDB to write to the new file system.

Can you post

ok we are one step further. Next to do

mv /mnt/dietpi_userdata/mysql/tc.log /mnt/dietpi_userdata/mysql/tc.save
systemctl restart mariadb.service

again pls post the error log if not working

naha · 19 May 2021 21:59

That fixed it! Thank you very much for your help today.

naha · 19 May 2021 22:02

I donated as a small thank you!

Joulinar · 19 May 2021 22:03

ok good. Just to sum it up: you had incorrect file system permission in first place and MariaDB was not able to write to the database directory. Second issue was a corrupted file we moved away.

Much appreciated

naha · 19 May 2021 22:04

Perfect. I think I understand.
